Synopsis

Bobby Hutchinson, a bestselling Harlequin writer, decides to open a B&B in Vancouver, B.C., when sales of romance novels falter. Despite never having stayed in a B&B and knowing absolutely nothing about running one, she jumps right in. Strange people from nearby and halfway around the world arrive at her home with their stories and struggles, not to mention their baggage, psychological and otherwise.

Each chapter is peppered with a humor, a little tragedy and many life lessons (but mostly humor). There are sure fire breakfast recipes guaranteed to turn out even if the cook is half asleep.

In explaining why she opened a B&B, she says, "I was far too old for prostitution, the only other job I could think of which might net enough to pay the mortgage."

When the author claimed to be a "vegan vegetarian" and said that was why she did not have bacon in her house, then proceeded to fix her guest eggs I just shook my head. Vegans do not eat eggs. Then when she insisted on referring to her neighb......more

Goodreads review by Paul on February 21, 2017

This is just a hilarious book, written as a memoir about a Canadian woman who decides to open up a bed and breakfast. The stories about some of her guests are almost fictional in their comicalness, if that's a word. Toward the end, the last 30 pages, it gets dull as she narrates exactly what one sho......more
