The Country Cottage

Dark Side Of The Reno. This is a modern day romance with old school flair, featuring concepts of social media “influencer” (God how I hate that term, particularly when applied to myself), DIY craze (and the multitudes of shows and networks that capitalize on it), cryptocurrency... and an old bed and breakfast that suddenly gets handed down to an unsuspecting nephew. As with Emily Bleeker's What It Seems, this does a really good job of showing the darker/ more realistic side of certain aspects of social media and television... but it is still a romance, and a shortish one to boot. So there is quite a bit of story in these 130 or so pages. And Bromke does it all so very well. And then, because this is a series starter... there is a “dun dun dun!” moment in the closing words that will have you waiting with bated breath for Book 2! Very much recommended.
