Warm And Highly Amusing

Did You Miss Me? By Sophia Money-Coutts is the most delightful contemporary novel looking at first love, friendship and family.

I always love Sophia Money-Coutts novels and thoroughly enjoyed this one. The tone is friendly, down to earth and honest. It is also highly amusing and I did laugh out loud at times.

Families are complicated affairs. We do not choose ours and we do not always get on with all the members.

The leading lady is absolutely charming, realistic and likable. She is easy to empathise with.

The novel explores the lasting effects of our first love – the pain, the tears, the heartache – and the love that never dies.

In contrast we witness marriages that fall apart as the leading lady is a divorce lawyer. It is painful to see the value some put on objects over people.
