Set in London 2016 during the lead up to the Brexit referendum. Lucy is a white, 40 something, single mother of 2 looking to start dating again after splitting from her alcoholic husband. She meets Joseph, a black 20 something with numerous part time jobs, which includes babysitting Lucy’s 2 boys. The couple then start seeing each other. What follows is how these two overcome the age difference while having different political views.
For me this was a ok read, however I could have done with less politics. I liked both the lead characters and was happy when they finally got together, however there could have been more passion. Lucy’s boys seemed intelligent and offers some light relief. The other characters were annoying. Overall I don’t think this one will stick with me.
