4.5 stars. A lovely story following the lives of 2 main characters. Life can throw you hard curve balls and no matter what your background, you can end up being homeless. I found this an insightful and at times a heart breaking story. But I really enjoyed it. Friendships, support for one another, can help ease difficult situation and make them seem more manageable.

It's rare I find a book that I don't end up skimming at least a few chapters. So many books these days are filled with fluff. But this book....this book took hold of my heart from the very first page. Absolutely adored it!

Got this from a book subscription box (once upon a bookclub). I would not normally pick this myself but the. I feel in love with Main characters

Heartbreakingly wonderful.

This was such a beautiful and emotional read . Dealing with homelessness and autism. I just loved it.

this book was so amazing and so moving. completely changes your perception of life and the people within it. so so good.

Amazing read. Heart felt story of love and friendship. Regardless of the obstacles in their path Ruth and Tom keep moving forward towards happiness.

This book set in Dublin speaks of homelessness, loss and fitting in to a world that sees you as different. The story is sweet but the writing is rather light and it was hard to relate to the character Tom. Ruth with her extreme candor and drive to provide for her son was a more relatable character.

I think I'd rate this 3.5 stars if I could. The story kept me coming back, but was a bit predictable. I did like that one of the main characters was different than most characters written. I appreciated a bit of insight from this viewpoint.

Lovely
