I loved this book and am such a fan of Clare Pooley. She writes characters that you fall in love with despite (and sometimes because of) their flaws. I loved the little nod to her previous book that was snuck in. This is a charming, feel-good read.

I really love this book

Ironically, this book could have been called “Nothing Special” as there was really northing to it. A young Irish girl goes out on a date with a man she does not like. She is revolted by all his choices and attempts to please her and to keep her safe. When they are finally alone in a park and he ties to tell her how he feels, she runs away in horror, only to return home and tell her mom that she will marry him. ??

Great book, one of my favorites since I first read it as a teenager. Loved reading it again for my book club. Highly recommend!

I thought it was a pretty good book. I like when he meets all his friends.

Slightly uneven, but very emotional! Excited for our book club conversation.

It was short

I like because he was sour and he also had some kindness in his heart.

Immigrants Japanese people in America, what they went through after Pearl Harbor attack. I liked reading this book, sad and emotional
