Absolutely delightful!
I loved everything about this book. The writing and the story telling is beautifully done. All the characters were extremely likeable and most importantly realistic. I especially loved Jimmy‘s development.
The incorporation of Welsh phrases was so well done and really set the tone. I got quite emotional everytime a Welsh word popped up, because I kept thinking back to my Welsh lessons during Uni.
I will definitely check out other books from this author.
