What Happens in Denver by Liz Crowe

 

Synopsis:

Meet Andi Rigby. She and her husband own a famous bar. Andi can mix a cocktail, change a beer keg, soothe ruffled customers, and drink you under the table. Life is good until the day she finds herself divorced and unemployed. After a suitable period of ice-cream and whiskey infused mourning, she heads to a beer conference in Denver on a mission to rediscover her joy and find a new job.

Between fielding gossip, saving a drunk woman from herself, and dodging a hot but ill-advised boozy hookup, the weekend leads to a few surprises. She ends up employed with an unexpected bonus—a new friend. Oh, and the guy she kissed? Turns out her new job includes selling his brewery's beer. No big deal. Except the bit about him being practically perfect for her at a moment she's determined to focus on her own success.

A story of new friends, fresh starts, and a side order of romance served up with a nice cold pint.

Review:

What Happens in Denver is an incredibly good story, with an amazing heroine.

Andi loses everything when her husband betrays her not only romantically but also, and maybe for her at that point more important, economically, taking away her precious beer bar. She is destroyed but she decides to go to a beer convention in Denver in order to find a new job. Little she knows that Denver will give her a new life project that will rejoy her, a new friend who will help her and a new man who will intrigue her.

This is a romance story but for me the best genre that describes it is Women's Fiction because the girl power and the cameraderie among the female cast steal the spotlight from the romantic relationship.

I loved Andi tenaciousness, she has the courage to start anew, yes I know she needed a little push from her mom and best friend, but seriously who doesn't need it after losing her company, her job and her husband.

This was the first time I read Liz Crowe work and I've enjoyed her writing style, the storyline is rich, there are humourous episodes, sad episodes and touching episodes that pefectly mesh up.

Read this book before it becomes a movie, it is too nice for the cinema productions to sleep on it.
