Why read it?
1 author picked One Day With You as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This story is in the style that Shari is making her own – a critical 24 hours in the intertwined lives of her characters.
It’s a skilful weaving of lightness and big laughs, plus painful, dramatic elements with break-neck plotting. Here, she builds her story round a group of friends and neighbours, who have known and supported each other for so long that they’ve created a ‘family’ owing nothing to genetics.
I love the Glasgow details, like the hospital carpark row with an audience of giggling nurses clutching sausage rolls. I also love the salt-of-the-earth older ladies in Shari’s books…
From Carmen's list on funny, feelgood fiction about families.
