This was such a lovely book, it tells the story of Gwen who, when fired from her job, starts volunteering in a charity shop. It leads to her changing her life, not by huge moves and jaw-dropping romances, but by getting closure and talking things through with people.

There’s so many parts in this book that I could relate to – including the part about her boyfriend using her name rather than a pet name, I have the same discussion with my husband and I used this as evidence that I wasn’t the only one that thought this!

Although the main book was a joy, I also loved the stories of how the objects ended up in the charity shop, between each chapter there’d be the story of the item from the owner.

It was so well written and I loved that there wasn’t a forced romance in the book it was about Gwen being happy with herself.

Genuinely very tempted to volunteer in a charity shop after reading this.
