Picked up this book hoping to get out of my reading slump. I'm glad I read this for that purpose.

It's light hearted and gave of the vibe of a relaxing countryside ambience which is what I need at the moment. I'm just confused on Josie's character and actions but aside from that, everything is perfect. I love the theme of family and the portrayal of a closely knitted community.

Loved it...I want to live in this village, love all the characters and the way they seem to live.
Lucy’s mum now much happier, Else has her son, and Lucy, Charlie and Maisie are a little family. Jill and Matt might get together finally, and the vet’s assistant runs off to elope with her school crush, lots of things happening in this book.

Glad to read at the end in the Acknowledgements, that Zara said they’ll be more Cavadoodle cavoodles (cavapoos in the UK) in book 3, so rapt there will be at leadt one more book in this sweet series. Really happy to read about the cavoodles/cavapoos as I have one of my own - lovely dogs.

Super easy to read, and know the characters from the 1st book.

Can’t wait to see #3 released.
