About this listen
Things haven’t always been straightforward in Poppy’s life but her dreams are finally within her reach.
She's moving into a cottage in beautiful Nightingale Square, close to the local community garden, where she can indulge her passion for making preserves and pickles. She may not have the best relationship with her family but she is surrounded by loving friends, and feels sure that even her grumpy new neighbour, Jacob, has more to him than his steely exterior belies.
But the unexpected arrival of Poppy's troubled younger brother soon threatens her new-found happiness and as the garden team works together to win community space of the year, Poppy must decide where her priorities lie and what she is prepared to fight for …

This is book two of five in the Nightingale Square series. The main character is Poppy as the title says. When she gets an opportunity to rent a house in the square she jumps at it.
Her mother is a nightmare and is usually so self absorbed that she thinks nothing of going away with her new man and leaving her teenage son Ryan to fend for himself. When Poppy calls to ask him to stay with her as it is closer for him to commute to college. Poppy is taken aback that he jumps at the chance. He has his reasons….
Poppy creates recipe cards for people to take and make something wholesome. She is instrumental in getting her grumpy neighbour to join in things. She also has a terrible habit of automatically expecting the worst in some situations and jumping to conclusions without all the facts. I found this quality sometimes grated on me.
Overtime as Ryan gets used to the people in the square he starts to thrive. He even joins in with the community efforts to create a space that reflects them all. He has a secret …. This secret will come back to haunt him and he will not be the only one affected
This story has all the Ingredients that Heidi Swain throws in, quite a few colourful characters to navigate but somehow she makes it work. There are assumptions, misunderstandings, comical moments, with a touch of love and trouble on the horizon.

I usually listen to mystery books where a lot happens, but sometimes I just want a bit of an easy listen, this book met that.
I will have a look at other books by Heidi Swain after this one
