When life gives you lemons... add a splash of gin
Two parts sparkling comedy. One dose of romantic tension. Mix well with a second chance, a splash of mystery, and garnish with a twist of fate...
When Liv's high-flying career goes off the rails, she finds herself working at a glitzy new gin bar to pay the bills. Yes, she's got a knack for reading the customers, she's finally got time to have some fun, and she might have just found some real friends - but it's just until she gets her life back on track, right?
But between humiliating encounters with her old workmates, one very hot bartender, and a lot of soul searching to do, Liv's life is even more muddled than a Blackberry Bramble...
Can Liv face up to her past, seize her future, and mix her own recipe for happiness?A hilarious, feel-good romantic comedy for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and Sophie Ranald

Thank you to Rachel for letting me take part in this tour and to Orion Dash for my copy of this book via Netgalley. I am a recent gin convert so this book was right up my street.
Once you broke down Liv’s walls she was a very easy character to like. Liv had lost herself in her high flying career and forgot her values. Losing her job was actually the best thing for her. It brought her down to earth with a bump and reminded her of the things that are truly important. When the true Liv was discovered I really liked her.
I loved Dylan, Liv’s lifelong friend. He tries to keep her grounded and is really there for her when she needs him. I also love Reyes, one of Liv’s new work colleagues. I loved her outlook on life as well as her meddling. She is one of those people that an brighten your day no matter what mood you are in. I also loved the way she tried to use colloquiums but got them ever so slightly lost in translation.
I loved the different Gin recipes that came later in the book, I’m going to have to give some of them a try. Liv’s blog posts were funny and enticing. I would definitely subscribe to it.
This was a fun read with some deeper aspects which make you question what is really important in life. I look forward to another book from Nina in the future.
