Loneliness in the Pocket is a rather sweet and enjoyable romantic fictional novel written by Graeme Stuckings. It consists of ten chapters about love and the misconceptions that come with it. The book follows the life of Pete, an engineer who may have love again when he least expects it.

After three failed marriages and even more failed relationships, Pete is not so enthusiastic about the prospect of meeting someone new. But when fate and a rather insistent mother force Pete to attend a party, there he meets the beautiful Seirah, a quirky 21-year-old who is obsessed with rescuing animals. What does life have in store for these two? Will Pete finally learn how to make his relationship work? Find out in this lovely book.

The book has a lot of positive aspects to enjoy. Firstly the language used was simple and easy to follow. The pacing of the book was also nice, and its moderate length was perfect for the story being told. Also, I loved the main characters, Pete and Seirah. The dynamic between the two was so fluid and easygoing. Their dialogue was engaging and very entertaining to read. I loved the character development done on these two. Pete, though older, is still a bit of a man-child at some times. Then he still shows the wisdom expected of him at other times. Seirah was a complete joy to follow throughout the book. The author must also be commended for the subtle infusion of the different cultures the characters experienced. My favorite part of the book is, without question, the epilogue. While most books use this to just address the few plot points that have been left unanswered, this book takes it up a notch. It uses the numerous unanswered questions that are left throughout the book to give a rather interesting and important commentary on issues surrounding love, relationships, and marriage. The epilogue was truly brilliant.

The book comes with very few negative aspects. I would have loved to see more of some characters, like Pete's first wife or his children. I definitely would have liked to see more interactions between Pete and Safiya.

I found minimal errors in the book, as it was professionally edited. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. The negative aspects of the book are negligible when compared to its beautiful story and its powerful message. They did not take away from satisfaction with this book. I recommend this book to lovers of romance novels, particularly those about to marry.

I'm fascinated by Pete's character and how he may have felt after so many unsuccessful relationships. I'd like to read this book, and I'm glad it's only a few chapters long.
