When Lottie's beloved grandmother dies she leaves her a letter asking her to take over her place as chairman of the committee trying to save the local theatre. This is right out of Lottie's comfort zone but with the encouragement of her best friend Sid she decides that she can do it...... but when the gorgeous property developer comes into her life and Sid starts a relationship with a stunning girl all her plans start to go wrong..... can she really pull this off or will the theatre get pulled down for development?

A lovely light read, and although predictable it was still enjoyable. There was a good cast of characters especially some of the eccentric am dram group that they set up and I liked the way Lottie's character grew as she became more confident

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. An easy read with romance but also about friendship and saving the Greenley theatre and can they do it in time or not. I was hooked from the first page and really didn't want it to end

A good steady three star read. Perfect for those wanting a light read whilst curled up by the fire.

Lottie’s grandmother has recently passed away and has left her a letter with her dying wish - that Lottie take her place on the Committee and save the beloved community theatre. The theatre is in a state of disrepair and Lottie doesn’t know the first thing about theatres or putting on a show she is more used to taking photographs for the local paper where her best friend Sid is a journalist. What ensues next is a story of love, friendships and community spirit with just the right amount of ‘bad characters’ thrown in for good measure.

I liked how Lottie’s confidence grew and how the characters interacted as the book progressed. It was a pretty straightforward book with no real surprises - you could pretty much guess the ending before you got more than a few chapters in but it was a good read nonetheless.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced read copy of the book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

This was a pleasant, easy summer read. The story follows Lottie, a photographer for the local village paper, who is very content to be stuck in her rut. However, upon the death of her gran she receives a push to get out in the world when she receives a letter asking her to continue with her gran's quest to save the local theatre. It's a nice story, that follows friendships and new love, and it was interesting watching Lottie blossom under her new responsibilities. Ideal for someone looking for a light read.

Thanks to HQ Digital and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.

This is the first book I've read by this author and won't be the last it's simply brilliant. An easy read with romance but also about friendship and saving the Greenley theatre and can they do it in time or not. I was hooked from the first page and really didn't want it to end. Has heartbreak in it to but so heartwarming and a fantastic read so worth more than the five stars.
Lottie's gran passes away and leaves her a letter telling here she wants lottie to continue to fight for the theatre problem is its crumbling and decaying age the mayor is not on board at all. Lottie's best friend Sid is with her and wants to save it. There are a group of actors who can't get along and she has her hands full. Jeremy a London developer sweeps lottie off her feet and how will Sid take this and will it work. Sid gets a new girlfriend who know one likes and the group falls apart and lottie goes on a wet dark night to the theatre to check the leaking roof and disaster strikes but who will save her and will lottie find out. Jeremy wants to buy the theatre but Sid does some digging and isn't sure how lottie will take it so will Jeremy buy the theatre or not and will lottie see who is right for her before its to late or not.
Simply fantastic and can't wait for more by this author.
