Blog Tour & Reviews by Erin & Jackie: The Best Boomerville Hotel by Caroline James

The BEST BOOMERVILE HOTEL Caroline James
Let the shenanigans begin at the Boomerville hotel … Jo Docherty and Hattie Contaldo have a vision – a holiday retreat in the heart of the Lake District exclusively for guests of ‘a certain age’ wishing to stimulate both mind and body with new creative experiences. One hotel refurbishment later and the Best Boomerville Hotel is open for business! Perhaps not surprisingly Boomerville attracts more than it’s fair share of eccentric clientele: there’s fun loving Sir Henry Mulberry and his brother Hugo; Lucinda Brown, an impoverished artist with more ego than talent; Andy Mack, a charming Porsche-driving James Bond lookalike, as well as Kate Simmons, a woman who made her fortune from an internet dating agency but still hasn’t found ‘the One’ herself. With such an array of colourful individuals there’s bound to be laughs aplenty, but could there be tears and heartbreak too and will the residents get more than they bargained for at Boomerville? ‘Britain’s answer to the Best Marigold Hotel!

This is a new author to me and wow what an introduction. I laughed so much I cried in this book; it was fabulous and I couldn't put it down. The writing is well executed, hilarious, sweet, dramatic and honestly a great read.

The clientele are eclectic and made for some seriously funny moments in this book.Jo Docherty and Hattie Contaldo have decided to create a holiday retreat with a difference, targeting a specific type of client.It kind of reminded me of the cast of characters found in an Agatha Christie book, diverse and entertaining.

I love the sound of The Boomerville Hotel, set in the Lake District and would love to visit the area. This was a thoroughly enjoyable read and one that I recommend.

This book gives you hope that even if you are slightly older, you never know when love will find you. A book full of diverse stories that will take you on an entertaining journey.

Caroline James is a new author to me and I have to ask myself why.. this book was so funny, I laughed till I cried and I loved the shenanigans at The Best Boomerville Hotel, this  book is a laugh out loud, fun, passionate story full of quirky eccentric characters and the author really had me feeling like I was on holiday visiting the country I grew up in.
Jo and Hattie open a hotel in the Lake District for the over 50’s and this book follows their story as they invite the Baby Boomers to come and stay at The Boomerville Hotel. Guests can sign up for various classes and activities amongst them cooking classes, spiritual readings and life classes with a Shaman and as you can imagine offering such diverse opportunities brings a wide range of characters and this in itself is fun to read about. The characters in this book are a eclectic mix but that’s what made this book interesting and funny. Looking forward to more from this author.
