I really enjoyed the plot of fixing up the old inn & falling in love with the hot Scot in a kilt! The characters were so fun, especially Angus & Mr. Peep 🤭
I applaud Emily Silver for writing accurate Scottish English dialogue & taking the care to have it sensitivity / beta read. But because I don’t consume much or any books, film, or tv with Scottish English, it’s difficult for me to read because it pulls me out of the story trying to imagine how it would actually be said. It’s 100% a me problem. I’m sure that I would have loved the book more had there been an audio version to listen to, rather than just eyeball reading it.
I would absolutely recommend the book, it just wasn’t the perfect fit for me.
Thank you to Emily Silver for sending me an early copy to read!
