That was such a great dinner!!! I loved hanging out with the Schnabels again!! (I accidentally read Prettier first) I loved Simon, Tansy, Mia and Lachie. I loved being in that extended big family suburbia and ahhh that Gloria! What a wantabe matriarch!!! I lost my shop and identity really in 2022 so it was so nice to see Simon struggle ‘to get going again’(I mean in the best possible way nice haha)
It’s a heartwarming, funny, tender story and I wish I hadn’t have been so sure he wasn’t going to finish the garden in time..bless him pulling through. I really loved everyone and everything about this novel, they feel like family friends of mine
