The Good Boy (Boy next door, magical dog chaos, and the softest slow-burn romance imaginable) - Stella Hayward

‘Incredibly funny and utterly adorable’ Jenny Colgan‘A book that made me smile from first page to last’ Milly JohnsonOn the eve of Genie’s thirtieth birthday, her grandmother gives her an unexpected gift: a wish at midnight. Genie, forever the family skeptic, laughs it off and, after an evening fending off invasive questions about her nonexistent love life, returns home to her empty house and her golden retriever, Rory. She really should’ve listened to her grandmother. She's turned Rory into a human with big golden retriever energy. But he doesn’t like being a human. He doesn’t like wearing clothes or human manners, and he most definitely can’t manage a human job. It's like she suddenly has a child. Genie needs to turn him back. She enlists her oldest friend and boy next door, Miles, to help. Their quest brings them closer than they’ve ever been -- and maybe, just maybe, her messed up wish is the key to granting her heart’s desire after all…‘Uplifting, romantic, magical and brimming with charm, I adored it’ Cathy Bramley
