Based on the blurb of this I had certain preconceptions of how the story would go, I was pretty much wrong with all of them. This is a hugely enjoyable, fresh, definately original story with many unexpected elements. The main characters are very likely and whilst some elements of the story are unusual it certainly didn’t push the boundaries of belief. I enjoyed every page of this and don’t hesitate to recommend it.
Description
Would you take the chance that could change everything?
After leaving the university at the age of twenty-five with no idea what to do with her life, Hannah is stunned when she is left a mystery bequest by her rich, estranged great-uncle Donald.
But there's a catch: before she can find out what she's inherited, she must undertake a series of unknown tasks alongside Alec, Donald's reluctant (but rather gorgeous) PA.
As the tasks progress and she and Alec grow closer, Hannah begins to think that Donald's real gift might have more to do with love than money . . .
This was a very fun, sweet book. I enjoyed Hannah and Donald.
This reminds me of a grown-up version of Maureen Johnson's "13 Little Blue Envelopes" - which I love! Hannah's voice as the narrator is so funny and relatable, and I was drawn in instantly. I love the twists that the plot takes whilst remaining mostly light and enjoyable. This is definitely a great read for fans of romantic comedies, like the works of Sophie Kinsella or Bridget Jones' Diary. I really hope for more like "Where There's a Will" from Beth Corby in the future!
When Hannah's great uncle Donald dies, he leaves her a series of tasks to complete. She only ever met him once, but accepts the challenge. Donald's PA Alec is there to help her, and although they dislike either at first, the more time they spend together the more they like each other.
As she completes the challenges and reads the letters Donald has left her, she gets to know him and understand his life.
She also has to deal with the rest of her family, jealous that she has been left more than they have - especially her sister who sets her sites on Alec too.
