Sophie Kinsella is well-known for her adult 'Shopaholic' series, but here she delves into the young adult arena - and, I think, is very successful! The book is full of hilarious moments, mostly concerning mum getting exasperated with Frank, but also touching scenes with Audrey struggling with her illness, and desperately wanting to be have a 'normal' life.

Scribbles Book Reviews: What Milo Saw by Virginia Macgregor
https://scribblesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2015/06/what-milo-saw-by-virginia-macgregor.html
A blog containing reviews of adult's and children's books. Friday, 19 June 2015. What Milo Saw by Virginia Macgregor. This is quite a sweet story, but for me it was overlong (I was skimreading large parts), and slightly confusing in places. The topics covered are rather current - dementia, the war in Syria, refugees, the lottery of choosing a nice care home, couples separated, depression, even mail order brides! Labels: 13yrs and over.

Great descriptions, great characters, great story. I loved the fact it was set in the Edwardian era, its fashions, its architecture - yes, I loved it all! I very much look forward to more in the series! If you loved Robin Stevens' Wells and Wong schoolgirl detective series, then this is for you. Links to this post. 10 years and over.
