Many thanks to NetGalley and GP Putnam's Sons for gifting me a digital ARC of the debut adult novel by Lizzy Dent - 4 stars for a light, humorous, fun summer read!
Birdy lives in London but is out of job prospects and a place to live. Her best friend, Heather, is off to Italy on a hopefully romantic adventure with her boyfriend. Heather, a sommelier, had accepted a summer job at a run-down Scottish inn and tasked Birdy with canceling for her. Birdy forgot and suddenly she decided to go to Scotland and pretend to be Heather for the summer. How hard could it be? However, when she gets there, she discovers that it is a Michelin starred hotel/restaurant with high expectations for its new sommelier.
You will laugh out loud as Birdy attempts to fill her job requirements when she really knows nothing about wine. The best part of this book is the camaraderie that the hotel staff shows as they all come together for the common goal of making the restaurant work. Full of good food and drink, smiles, love, laughter - all those things that make up life, friendship and family in all kinds of ways. A great summer read!
