I enjoyed reading this book, I found it very easy to read and would recommend this book to anyone who wants an ideal summer holidays read, especially if they are going to Devon where this book is set.
The main character is Jen who is a menopausal empty nester, she works for the local council at the museum in Dingleton, Devon. She is divorced from Mike who now has a younger girlfriend. Her daughter Lauren is off to her first year at uni and her son is overseas. She also has her elderly father living with her after her mums death. Also sharing her home is a Jack Russell terrier called Bob. Emotions run high after the council decide to close the museum and Jen, her family and friends try to buy the old building. She then meets Tom who also has a Jack Russell terrier called Betty. Tom has recently lost his wife to cancer and very soon a relationship develops between Tom and Jen. Everyone in the family has an interest in either chemistry, brewing, distilling or drinking gin!! Very soon an idea develops to turn the museum into a Gin Joint. Many different emotions were covered including romantic, comedy, annoying characters (councillors) and there is puppy overload. Fans of Cathy Bramley and Jenny Colgan books will love this.
