Summary
A heartwarming novel of finding love in the countryside from TOP 100 bestselling author Fay Keenan
When Charlie Thorpe met Holly Renton, they were not a match made in heaven…
Holly lives and works in the beautiful town of Willowbury in Somerset. An incorrigible optimist, she is determined to change the world for the better.
Charlie Thorpe on the other hand, is the ultimate pragmatist. With responsibility for so many people, he has to be.
But when their paths cross again, it’s clear they’ve got more in common than they think. Can Holly and Charlie overcome their differences and work together, or are they destined to be forever on opposite sides? And why does Holly have a funny feeling she has met Charlie before…
Let Fay Keenan whisk you away to a world of glorious country views, unforgettable characters and once-in-a-lifetime love. Perfect for all fans of Fern Britton, Veronica Henry and Erica James.
This book was previously published as The Weekender.

Poor narration of a good story
The story is interesting to have been based on a health condition that I didn’t understand and will now look to find more about. However, I found the book very hard to listen to, as it appears the narrator pauses in the wrong places. It feels like the producers didn’t listen to and edit the audio before releasing it. Such a shame for the author and the narrator.

Conditional love story
(Spoiler) Hobby activist falls in love with politician, but can't accept when he won't make her cause his only politic interest.
Narrator great, story could be great, but I cannot personally get over the transactional and conditional love tangle.

Slow pace
The reader has a lovely voice but reads slowly with weird breaks. Enjoyable story but a bit painful to listen too

Awful Narration
Really enjoyed the storyline but the narration was awful, pauses and changes in tone in all the wrong places, and if the author used the words 'wryly' and 'chided' once, she must have used them at least 4 or 5 times in most chapters, struggled to listen to the story but wanted to find out the ending so persevered
