Bricking It
Bricking It | Nick Spalding
6 posts | 7 read | 5 to read
When siblings Dan and Hayley Daley inherit their late grandmother s derelict Victorian farmhouse, it seems like a dream come true. All they have to do is fix the place up and sell it for a tidy profit! Except as anyone who has renovated an old house knows things are never that easy. The walls are rapidly crumbling around them, the architect is a certified lunatic, the budget is spiraling and then there s the disturbingly intelligent cow to worry about. On top of all this, the renovation is being featured on a daytime reality TV show, and as soon as Great Locations presenter Gerard O Keefe catches sight of Hayley s first-floor balcony, he s determined to woo her out of her ban on romance, whether she wants him to or not. Will Dan and Hayley survive and sell up? Or will the whole thing collapse on them like a ton of bricks? From bestselling author Nick Spalding comes a hilarious tale of life, love, and dodgy plumbing."

This is my “argh it‘s 90 degrees but I don‘t want to turn on the AC, so I‘m going to grill dinner so I don‘t have to use the oven” face.

While I grilled, I finished this one. It had some parts that made me chuckle... but overall it veered too far into farcical territory. I almost bailed around the 70% mark, but just sped up the playback through the end. #audiobook #audiocooking #howjessicareadsin2020

Love Spalding's way with phrasing. Hilarious and had me laughing out loud. His style reminds me of Peter Mayle--light and humorous, focusing on character quirks. Bathroom and bedroom humor teetered on overkill, as well as the cow mooing. End too tidy and "boy to the rescue". Overall, enjoyable.
