Chick Magnet by Emma BarryMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I got this book after reading Kaetrin from Dear Author's review of her top 10 reads of 2023, it didn't hurt that it was also available on Kindle Unlimited.
Nicole is a social media influencer. Her ex-boyfriend Brian got her into creating content during lockdown when her job at a winery got laid off. Nicole's 'thing' is chickens, she's known as Chick Nic on YouTube where she posts content about her brood of chickens. When her relationship implodes, Nicole impulsively buys a house in the small town of Yagerstown, Virginia where her grandmother used to live to get away from the social media fall-out and metaphorically lick her wounds.
Will Lund is the local vet in Yagerstown, his practice has never recovered from the pandemic and he is facing the fact that he is going to have to close down. He can't bear the humiliation of failing in front of his community and his toxic younger brother who never fails to make digs about Will's job. Always a taciturn man, Will has become grumpy and even more introverted as he watches his practice teeter on the edge of bankruptcy. Although Will has secretly watched every single one of Nicole's YouTube videos, he also has great distain for her because she insists on giving her viewers advice about medical conditions and never mentions seeking advice from a vet.
Of course Nicole has moved into the house next to Will's. Of course there is much hilarity involving chickens. Its a sunshine meets grumpy, opposites attract romance. There is also a surprising amount of information about chickens.
I really enjoyed it.
