Summary

When siblings Dan and Hayley Daley inherit their late grandmother's derelict Victorian farmhouse, it seems like a dream come true. All they have to do is fix the place up and sell it for a tidy profit!

Except - as anyone who has renovated an old house knows - things are never that easy.

The walls are rapidly crumbling around them, the architect is a certified lunatic, the budget is spiraling...and then there's the disturbingly intelligent cow to worry about.

On top of all this, the renovation is being featured on a daytime reality TV show, and as soon as Great Locations presenter Gerard O'Keefe catches sight of Hayley's first-floor balcony, he's determined to woo her out of her ban on romance, whether she wants him to or not.

Will Dan and Hayley survive and sell up? Or will the whole thing collapse on them like a ton of bricks?

From bestselling author Nick Spalding comes a hilarious tale of life, love, and dodgy plumbing.

This was s light refreshing fun book that made me laugh out loud. The ending was a bit predictable. Who doesn't love happy endings and romance!

I love this book for what it was a funny lighthearted story. The characters were all likability and the narration was great. I took a bit to get use to the female voice as it's quite distinct and lent a certain personality to the character. I'm a fan of the renovation programs so loved the premise

The only thing good with this book was the narration. The story was terrible and very unfunny.

Plot had potential, but gags often felt artificially inserted, with romance having an equally tacked on quality. Light and easy narrative had entertaining moments, but was let down by two dimensional characters, that frequently devolved into caricature … not helped by the performance of the male narrator whose dialogue was at best cliche and at worst painfully panto.

Promising story, let down by uneven humour and painful narration
