Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

19-year-old Phoebe and her courier father Al have recently moved to Devon, to a small cottage with a river at the end of the garden.

Struggling with her health, Phoebe doesn't go out much these days. Instead, she spends her time playing detective - trying to deduce from her father's deliveries what kinds of lives her neighbours lead.

When Phoebe finds an abandoned baby otter by the river, it's just the push she needs to finally step into her new community. Taking the otter to the local sanctuary, she feels a joy that she has not felt in a very long time. But she soon starts to suspect that something is amiss at the local sanctuary - and she will need to put her detective skills to good use if she wants to save the otters.

A gorgeous feel-good novel about a young woman finding the courage to step back into the world, with the help of new friends and some very cute otters.

Goodreads review by Amy on April 17, 2023

I really wanted to love 'Love & Otter Miracles', especially as much as 'Away with the Penguins'. But this book just didn't hit the spot for me. The style of writing felt a bit bland & slow, making the chapters quite a slog to get through. I also didn't really connect with the characters in the way I......more

Thank you to Transworld Publishers (Penguin Books UK) for a digital review copy to read and review.
