Saffron loves her life in London, so everyone is a bit surprised when she announces a surprise move to her mother's home in Churchminster, a very quiet and sleepy country suburb. Saffron is determined to finish her debut novel, and is sure that will be easier to complete away from the glitz and glamour of London. However, she doesn't count on the surprise arrival of her boyfriend's identical twin brother Rex to Churchminster, disrupting her peace and quiet, and something else too... Saffron's best friend Harriet is still living in London, but decides to volunteer at a community centre which needs all the help it can get. Harriet struggles to befriend the manager Zac and is sure he sees her a rich girl wanting to help the poor, and wants to change his opinion as soon as she can. Have both of the girls taken on more than they can handle, or will they be able to juggle their busy lives without burning out?!This is the fourth novel in Jo Carnegie's Churchminster series, and I have really enjoyed all of them so far. They certainly are "bonkbusters" in that they are a bit rude, there's lots of loud and brash characters but they certainly make for fun reading. The characters keep popping up in all of the books, so it's easy to get into them which is something I really like about reading a series. I have to say that when I saw the cover for this book, I was a tad disappointed as it looked a bit bland compared to the other books, in its shades of beige and certainly didn't stand out like the other covers. However, I put that to one side and decided to dive straight in back to Churchminster again!
