Daughter of over-achieving parents, Fiona felt the failure of not being able to get her sommelier degree. Soon after, not only her self trust will be shaken, but also the long-term relationship with her business partner Rub. As she will have the revelation that ´(...) he didn´t listen to her dreams; they were drown out by his own´ while vacationing in Devon, she will reject his marriage proposal.
Scarred by her courage, but aware that there is no coming back, Debbie may be forced to really start living her real life, planning what she really wanted and not what others may expect from her. Encouraged by her pious aunt Ivy, she starts anew in Devon, and as usual, chance may make things happen, this time maybe better.
A Perfect Devon Pub by Debbie Morrison may be a good written summer romance but there is so much more to it. From the very fine foodie details to the everyday insights and the local ambiance in both London and Devon, through the decisions of the characters and their interactions, we may learn a lot about life, and where it does take us when we trust ourselves and we assume our decisions.
Also, it sends a kind reminder that a life lived at its fullest may be more than a collection of certificates and successfully passed exams. A note to myself for another time.
