Review:
This first of a new series of books by the bestselling author of the Turnham Malpas novels is set in a Dorset village where 19-year-old Kate begins her working life as the new receptionist at a veterinary practice. In reality she'd much rather be a vet herself. She befriends all the staff, becomes engrossed in her work and gets to know all the regular clients and their pets. But always in the back of her mind is the thought that she should finish with her oppressive boyfriend Adam and return to college to train as a vet. And seeking advice from Scott, the good-looking Australian vet, is certainly not going to work in Adam's favour. Kate quickly takes control of her own life once she realises she'll only ever have the one chance. This is a very tender and warm-hearted novel, which establishes a collection of enchanting characters, sure to be as popular as the Turnham Malpas books.
