“A great feel good read”
Outside Lola’s takes you on an enchanting journey to Andalusia, you find yourself on the cobbled streets of Granada having a Rioja or tapas in a bar or wandering through the Alhambra. Feel the sun on your face all while following the adventures and mishaps of the characters. A feel good read. Elizabeth Martin, 20th July 2020 (Paperback)

"Great read, can't wait for the sequel!"
For a first novel this was a great read. I’ve never been to this area of Spain but feel like I have now. Great characters that were very relatable to and really good descriptions of both the places and the food! Want to go and see it by myself now. Can’t wait for the sequel Paul Diggory!

"Easy holiday read"
Very good book, ideal holiday read. Interesting story and easy to read.
Kindle customer, 19th July 2020
Redundant, now separated, life has fizzled out for Jack, so it’s off to Andalucia where a chance encounter with Beatriz lights up his world and, when they have to leave behind the Alhambra to rescue the hapless Robert and Alfredo from their habitual incompetence, they’re drawn ever closer — but can he throw off the shackles from thirty years of marital repression and will Robert ever discover anything he’s good at?
​
Set in the summer of 2018 and played out to a backdrop of Almeria’s cinematic heritage and Andalucian history, culture and landscape, Outside Lola’s is an optimistic story of relationships, of recovery and discovery. Sometimes poignant, often darkly humorous, it highlights the way our lives are shaped by chance.
​
The nature of the story and its range of locations make Outside Lola’s a good choice for holiday reading, or right now a nostalgic look back at a time when we could fly to Spain! The author’s affection for the region is evident and his first hand experience brings authenticity. The descriptions and information relating to places of interest in Almeria and Granada in particular are likely to appeal to travellers and anyone who loves Andalucia.
