Blog Tour for Summer at Croftwood Cinema by Victoria Walker

Summer at Croftwood Cinema

Patsy Clements lives in Croftwood. It’s been her sanctuary for three years while she rebuilt a life for herself that is safe and happy. Out of necessity, she has learnt to live without ambitions or dreams, but she does have her best friend Oliver who means everything to her.

Oliver Jones owns the trendy local coffee shop and establishes himself as the town entrepreneur when he buys the derelict old cinema in the park. Bringing it back to life is going to be a challenge and he wants his best friend Patsy to be his business partner.

After lying low for three years is it a mistake for her to change the life that has kept her safe or is it time to start living again? Will stepping into the limelight tempt fate and mean her past catches up with her and can she survive if it does?

Join Patsy and Oliver in the small town of Croftwood for a summer where friendships are made, challenges are everywhere and romance blossoms at the cinema in the park.

My Thoughts

This is my first read by Victoria Walker. I just love trying out new to me authors. Most of the time the books are great but sometimes not so much. This time it was a definite hit!
Taking place in Croftwood (I’m not sure if this is a real place or not) but it sounds so charming there. I want Croftwood to be my next travel vacation trip.

With a trendy coffee shop owned by Oliver who is Patsy’s best friend Oliver finds himself wanting to reopen an old derelict cinema in the park. He has such grand ideas for it. He’s on his way to creating his dream with friends, local architect Matt, and Ed, an amateur projectionist.

Patsy is finally able to have a better life for herself now that she’s lived in Croftwood for 3 years. She left a controlling marriage, and it’s boosted her confidence. I really loved seeing how so many of the shop owners and townsfolks are such great friends. I also enjoyed seeing how many used the train as their main way of transportation. It sounds like such a fabulous way to see the sights and travel to work.

The renovation of the cinema sounded like so much fun. There are some surprising reveals but through highs and lows the pals support each other. Full of small-town charm, emotional, sharp, romance and an all over feel good happy book this is one to add to your reading list straight away.
