I could not be happier to be on the tour for this read, I adored it and know you will too.
Reading the plot: Zoe has a special talent for saving lost causes…but she’ll need a miracle to save herself from this mess! When her biggest advertising account cancels their contract, single mum Zoe Taylor’s Good News Gazette – Westholme’s pre-eminent feel-good news source – faces an uncertain future. Determined to save her paper, Zoe strikes a bargain with millionaire developer Daniel Lewis – he’ll help her find advertisers and in exchange she’ll spearhead his campaign to save the Art Deco cinema from destruction. But with her boyfriend Sam no fan of her new business partner, an unexpected job offer from her old boss, and an unshakeable feeling that there’s something more between her and Daniel than there should be, Zoe’s future soon feels as uncertain as her paper’s…and she’ll be forced to make a decision that changes everything for her and her son Charlie.
Bobs and Books honest review:
Firstly- how stunning is that cover?
Secondly, I read this not knowing I'd missed out on book 1, but totally understood and enjoyed without having done so.
This book is one of those joyous, pure escapism, and good all round community spirit reads. I love Zoe and her good intentions. She's one busy lady trying to improve the community. I'm here for the good news gazette alone- this needs to be a real thing!
A great ensemble of characters behind Zoe too- particularly ones she meets for her gazette stories.
Wasn't sure about the community facebook comments at the end of each chapter, but I rolled with it.
Hats off too for this author tackling the sensitive subject of early motherhood struggles. Hardly seen in books and dealt with superbly.
A magical read.
