The Likely Resolutions of Oliver Clock by Jane Riley

"His life is perfectly regimented. Is there really room for something as unpredictable as love?

Oliver Clock has everything arranged just so. A steady job running the family funeral parlour. A fridge stocked with ready meals. A drawer full of colour-coded socks. A plan (of sorts) to stay trim enough for a standard-sized coffin. And in florist Marie, he’s even found the love of his life—not that she’s aware of it. When a terrible tragedy takes Marie out of his life but leaves him with her private journal, he discovers too late that she secretly loved him back. Faced now with an empty love life, a family funeral business in trouble, a fast-approaching fortieth birthday and a notebook of resolutions he’s never achieved, Oliver resolves to open himself up to love—and all the mess that comes along with it.

But, with a habit of burying his feelings, can he learn to embrace his lovability and find the woman who will make him feel whole?"

Thank you to ED Public Relations and Megan for choosing and sending me a copy of this book. I know it was released on the 1st of February but I've only just got round to writing down my thoughts about this book. I hope it makes you (the reader) want to go and buy the book now and see what you think of it!

I'm sure a lot of people will be comparing this book to Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Something to Live For as they have similar story lines and characters. I haven't read STLF but I defiantly preferred Oliver Clock to Eleanor. Mainly because I couldn't guess the storyline whereas I often do in books! Does anyone else suffer with this?

I love how Jane writes the characters and locations, making it me feel like I was beside them all. Working alongside Oliver at the funeral parlour, feeling sad for Marie and a love that was never explored and blossomed. 

I loved both Oliver and Edie and how characters stood firmly for what they believed in and their plans for future businesses. 

Also, does anyone know if Edie's candle idea is actually a real thing?

The only characters I kept getting annoyed at was Caroline and Oliver's mum, I found them both irritating and kept putting Oliver down and making him feel useless.

Mainly, this book is great for the storyline of how Oliver carries on with his life after finding out he was loved by the women he loved and never told her how he felt!
