Alice Mayhew is a part-time architect and single parent for Alfie. Alfie is young, rambunctious and his father is more noted by his absence than presence. She finds herself volunteered to design a garden in her village. Something she's never done before and finds herself attracted to one of the men involved. Her best friend Molly O'Brien is finding her daughter Lily a conundrum, her daughter likes domesticity, and while she's four that's amusing she's wondering where she went wrong and if she can get it to rub off on her husband Matt. Lola Barker is new to the village and determined to make waves, and doesn't care how she manages to get her own way but determined that she will.
It's a humorous slice of life, the characters are quite real and flawed and fun and it's a fun read.
