My review:
Daisy has had the worst day of her life, but it turns out falling asleep on the train was the best thing to ever happen to her.
Predictability galore, but still a cute little story.
Here is what was most enjoyable for me:
~ Bookshop atmosphere
~ How Alex took over the bookshop to keep his father’s legacy alive
~ Wolf the Great Dane
~ Alex’s cooking skills
~ British lingo
~ New found friends that loved her for her
~ Tom’s memories of Daniel
~ How Daisy found her calling and helped save the bookshop cafe in the end
Rightfully so I hated Phil ~what a tool and Daisy’s mother wasn’t much better. I hated how Daisy just accepted what was instead of sticking up for herself more. Good thing Alex was as delightful as plump and golden brown gnocchi. Overall, a quick and light read that had some fun moments.

Book blurb:
Sometimes, the Last Place You Intended to Go is Exactly Where You Need to Be.
When 26-year-old Daisy’s life in London comes crashing down around her, the only thing she can think of is getting away – far away. That’s how she found herself stumbling off a train in England’s picturesque Peak District – 150 miles from home, with no idea why she’d gone there and even less idea how she intended to get home.
As Daisy explores the gorgeous village of Upper Finlay, she glimpses the possibility of a different life. The Derbyshire Dales offer up new friends, new opportunities, and a distractingly dishy object of attraction in the form of local bookstore owner Alex (and his bumbling Great Dane.) When Daisy discovers Alex’s business is in trouble she steps in to save the day.
But London’s Calling – literally. The life Daisy ran away from is calling her back. Why then, is she so reluctant to heed its call?
Daisy’s got a decision to make: Will she play it safe, and return to what she knew? Or is she brave enough to take a leap of faith and create a bold, new life for herself in the last place she’d ever expected?
Daisy Does it Herself is a sweet, uplifting romantic comedy about the power of self-confidence, friendship and of course love! Fans of warm and witty romantic comedies with a guaranteed happily-ever-after will be entranced.
