They befriend locals Clara and her husband whom run the cafe on the very day they arrive and they cook them their welcome meal as well as later helping out babysit Frankie.
She has to deal with Mrs Snowball who's Frankie's new teacher as she often takes him to school late for varying reasons and the teacher often has words with her over other matters too.
She meets cider farmer Alfie after her son runs off and As she has a garden now full of apple trees she realises that cider farming makes a lot of sense local business wise and he also makes jams.
However, once she hires Channy to work in the deli once it's open, she learns more about the locals and especially about Alfie's character. She later goes on some dates with him and end up together back at Lily's only for Frankie's dad and then Viv, Lily's mum to turn up!
So as she tries to win over the locals, successfully open the deli, possibly become Alfie's girlfriend and deal with nightmare Nathan and his vegan ways influencing their son, will she be able to manage it all?
This was a really great book, we see the struggles single motherhood can bring whilst keeping a career but Lily is a strong capable woman who doesn't need a man but gets her happy ending anyway! The writing was fun but dramatic at the right times while there was no dips in action waning off as Frankie or Lily have so many things going on in their lives.
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
