RIVER JACKSON is back in his hometown to open a cocktail bar… and the locals aren’t impressed. You can’t just swan off to LA, make your rock star millions, and waltz back into Glastonbury High Street, turning the head of every female with your delectable good looks as if you own the place.
Not without consequences, anyway:
GEORGINA is proving too hot to handle, ALICE is messing with her heart and her head; his mum is a hippie-dippy liability; his school friends have resorted to violence – oh, and his band manager, Lennie, and the media are hot on his trail.
But River is armed with an elixir, gifted to him in Tequila on his world tour with his band; a magical elixir which will change the lives of the ‘Three Chosen Ones’. Once the Mexican wave of joy takes a hold of Glastonbury, he’s glad he did n’t lose his proverbial bottle of it.
Pity he hasn’t taken better care of the real one…
A smalltown love triangle rom-com featuring some of the tastiest cocktails on planet Earth.
