Publisher's Summary

Juliet's been in hiding. From her family, from her life, but most of all from the fact that Ben's not around anymore. Her mother, Diane, has run out of advice. But then she insists Juliet look after her elderly Labrador, and it becomes apparent that Coco the dog might actually be the one who can rescue her daughter. Especially when it leads to her walking dogs for a few other locals, too, including a spaniel, Damson, who belongs to a very attractive man....

Before she knows it, Juliet realises she has somehow become the town's unofficial pet sitter. A job which makes her privy to the lives and secrets of everyone whose animals she's caring for. But as her first winter alone approaches, she finally begins to wonder if it's time to face up to her own secrets. To start rebuilding her own life. And maybe - just maybe - to fall in love again.

Fantastic easy listen

A very moving well told story with relatable characters. Not to much drama but enough to keep you listening

soothingly predicable

I listen to Dillon when I need something simple and with a guaranteed happy ending. this one was less ambitious than others, with one of the story arch's being too convenient and easily resolved. Price-lewis is normally good, but someone who could do an Irish accent for Lorkin was really needed.

Enjoyable read

It took me a while to get into this story, if it wasn't for the dog factor I may have given up. A little predictable with a few twist and turns, in the end I really enjoyed it, try to hang in there.

So realistic

I love the style Lucy Dillon writes in. They're always relatable and hit close to home. This one was no different.

WHERE IS THE EPILOGUE??

Loved this bought, I switched between reading and listening, but was disappointed that the AUDIBLE version didn’t include the EPILOGUE as published in the book. Without it, it ends very suddenly!

Amazing!!

Lucy Dillon never disappoints!! I'm almost through listening to all of her novels and can't recommend them enough, getting a little sad there are not many left now!
