This was beautiful. I worked as a nurse all through covid and this brought so many memories back. Tears have been shed!

Thank you for sharing this. I’d not read it anywhere so it was a treat. It was lovely to hear about Lou again and how she helped you out of a writing slump. I may have cried.

*tears leaking from my eyes*

Oh my goodness, Jojo - you sure know how to tug on the heartstrings.

I love Louise Clark and Sam is just the best guy on the planet.

Thank you for this mini novel. I didn't know I needed it, to know how a fictitious person battled through that horrendous Covid lockdown time, but I did need it.

Thank you xx

So lovely to catch up with Louisa and what a perfect pandemic story. My hormones must be out of whack today because I needed a tissue - but thank you so much for sharing.

(Ps - I guessed the pregnancy bit quite early on but it was all the sweeter for knowing 💚)

Oddly enough this story popped up in my Audible account a week or so back…but translated into German (which as it happens, is my first language). Looking forward to enjoying the subtleties and nuances of the original form with several cups of tea in the armchair later today, thank you.

So moving and relatable. I know it is a cliche now, but there really was a before and after the lockdown! Thank you for sharing this here. Loved it!
