The Gift Shop On The Loch by Maggie Conway

Lily is shocked when she's fired from her beloved department store job amid hard times and feels humiliated her boss and crush James could just get rid of her like it's nothing.

Reeling from it all and the loss of her hopeful promotion, she realises she has to take care of everything her mother, Patty left behind after she'd passed now she has time including surprisingly, a cat called Misty, she knew nothing about at all!

As she travels to Loch Carroch, she finds the quaint gift shop her mother had bought before her sudden death and meets back up with Iris her mum's best friend. She also meets Jack whom she remembers from holidays there years ago and Angus, a kind old man who finds herself reminding her of a father figure she wishes she'd had.

As she discovers Jack's past and his love of whisky the pair form a friendly bond until suddenly James reappears and it seems Edinburgh hasn't seen the last of Lily yet as she faces a new, better job back there, but will it be what she wanted after all?

After putting work first for so long, will Lily finally discover it's time to take a chance on other life things too?

The idea of the book is super quaint and idyllic sounding and is in the book too. Lily transforms in the book from being set in her ways to finding some roots and family ground to build on her future. A quick relaxing romantic read about fresh starts and finding love unexpectedly.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
