Zoe has a special talent for saving lost causes…but she’ll need a miracle to save herself from this mess!
When her biggest advertising account cancels their contract, single mum Zoe Taylor’s Good News Gazette – Westholme’s pre-eminent feel-good news source – faces an uncertain future.
Determined to save her paper, Zoe strikes a bargain with millionaire developer Daniel Lewis – he’ll help her find advertisers and in exchange she’ll spearhead his campaign to save the Art Deco cinema from destruction.
But with her boyfriend Sam no fan of her new business partner, an unexpected job offer from her old boss, and an unshakeable feeling that there’s something more between her and Daniel than there should be, Zoe’s future soon feels as uncertain as her paper’s…and she’ll be forced to make a decision that changes everything for her and her son Charlie.

My thoughts: I like Zoe, although occasionally I think she needs someone to shake some sense into her. The Good News Gazette is a fantastic idea and while it might be tough to find enough stories to fill its pages and very tough to get enough advertisers to keep it going, it seems really worthwhile. But Zoe is being pulled in different directions – her old boss is offering her a dream job in London, property developer Daniel needs her on his new project and her relationship with Sam is on life support.
As she weighs up her options, helps renovate the beautiful old cinema, tries to help her best friend, teaches her dad how to use an air fryer (one of the funniest bits in the book) and looks after son Charlie, could the Gazette be about to close its pages?
This series continues to be fun and enjoyable, although I did shout “Zoe, no!” towards the end, and you probably will too, hopefully the town survives the terrible weather they’re having and book three will fibd Zoe getting her act together. We’ll have to wait and see!
