Sweet and engaging this is the story of Leo and Emma. Leo turns up at Emma's 30th birthday drunk and late. Things aren't helped by him falling head first into her birthday cake too. Emma decides that she's had enough of his childish ways and that this was the last of many straws.

Then Leo meets Isobel and she starts to change him, in some subtle ways. Emma realises she still loves Leo and loves even more the slightly improved Leo, but is it too late? Things aren't helped by the fact that Isobel is a fairy and that she's really nice.

It's fun, sweet and cute. Pretty paper-thin in parts but it kept me reading and I enjoyed the read.
