For me, Michelle Holman's books are the perfect light summer reading, and Hand Me Down is no exception.
Holman is known for her unique New Zealand settings, but I particularly loved this one - the fictional town of Pisa is based on the township of Cromwell, a place where I've spent plenty of time as it's very close to where I grew up and went to high school. Hand Me Down is also set on a cherry orchard, and like any self respecting Central Otago kid, I spent more than one summer holiday working on orchards picking fruit. I found plenty to relate to in this story.
I always enjoy Holman's inversion of the typical romance genre 'woman tames bad boy' plot. Her women tend to be strong, somewhat troublesome to deal with and have oodles of sass, and while there's inevitably a good man to sort her out, he has to put up with plenty of smartass one-liners along the way.
Holman's writing style is distincly Kiwi and down to earth, with her quirky humour providing some great banter between her characters and lots of chuckles until the very last page. ( )
