A single act of kindness can change lives….
Tilda Wright is a very tidy and organized individual. Which comes in handy when you own your own cleaning company. Everything in her life is planned and there are no surprises. Things were not always this way. Tilda was pushed away by her family, had a less than enjoyable relationship, and has hit rock bottom. She has suffered loss and pain in her life. She has created a way to protect herself, by keeping others at a distance and having a highly organized life.
Milo has fallen on rough times and is sleeping rough on the streets. He had plans and goals for his life, but he too has hit rock bottom. He could use a break.
When they have a chance encounter, things change for them both….
I enjoyed this warm-hearted book which also touches on real issues such as homelessness, estrangement from family, addiction, friendship, trust, being vulnerable, trauma, and starting over. I enjoyed both Tilda, Milo and of course, Tilda’s adopted cat Dettel.
I enjoyed how both characters slowly began to open up to each other and how their growing friendships led to both of them making positive changes in their lives. I adored them both, Tilda with her rules, her organization, and her kind nature that she keeps hidden away. Milo has his own issues, but is caring, funny, hardworking, and adept at nudging Tilda into opening up.
I found this book to be adorable, warm, well written, and captivating. If you are looking for a book that leaves you with a smile on your face, look no further! I look forward to reading more books by Samantha Tonge in the future.
