Rachel Kennedy and Oscar Livingston were not precisely friends or family. Rachel had been acquanted with Oscar for some time, first as her father s accountant, and then as her own. Part owner of a London bookshop, Rachel is thoroughly independent and somewhat distant, determinedly restrained in her feelings for others, but above all responsible. And it is this trait that leads Oscar and his wife Dorrie to seek out Rachel as a mentor for their twenty-seven-year-old daughter, Heather. Yet when Heather seems poised to make an unsuitable romantic decision, Rachel decides to speak out and intervene, causing an unwitting and devastating insight."

Caught at the Old Gang meet up. Thank you!
Okay, I've given up on this. The writing style just didn't do it for me. I felt like I was wading through treacle. Oh well, can't win them all. I plan to wild release this and hopefully it will find a more appreciative reader.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Oops! Picked up Sunday at a BookCrossing MeetUp by accident! Huh - that sounds a likely tale for any BookCrosser who after attending a BC MeetUp finds themselves over loaded with books to read, having been overcome by temptation. But in fact this did turn up as a surprise in the stack of what I thought were my books and had deliberately picked up at the meetings end.
Discovered as I went through the pile prior to making these ‘caught’ journal entries. It is destined for release at the Edinburgh International Book Festival before it finishes on Monday the 27 August.
EDITED TO ADD: released and picked up at the EIBF [EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL BOOK FESTIVAL] BookSwap / BookCrossing MeetUp Sun 19 Aug 2018 – Yay, this book is travelling!
