The blurb:
Welcome to the Café at Seashell Cove, where you’ll find
irresistible home-baked cakes, smiling friendly faces – and maybe even a second
chance at love…
When Cassie Maitland needs a holiday from her glamorous but stressful
job in event management, she escapes home to gorgeous Seashell
Cove, where her family’s cosy café sits
perched on the cliffs above sparkling waves and golden sand.
But a lot has changed while Cassie’s been away:
her parents have transformed their tired café into a welcoming haven, her
friends Meg and Tilly have whole new lives, and old flame Danny’s twinkling eyes and winning smile make Cassie feel
even more flustered than they used to.
Keen to throw herself back into local life,
Cassie starts to run themed events – including a not entirely successful cat-café day, complete with dozens of
felines. Luckily Danny is always around to lend a helping hand, and Cassie soon
begins to wonder if her life in London was really all she made it out to be…
Could a new start in Seashell Cove be exactly
what Cassie needs?
A heart-warming and hilarious read about friendship, belonging and seaside
living. Perfect for fans of Debbie Johnson, Holly Martin and Jenny Oliver.
My Opinion:
*Book
provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
In this story we follow Cassie Maitland, an event
manager, who takes a break from her stressful job and goes back home.
There a lot of things have changed. Her parents now
have a successful little café, her friends Meg and Tilly have a new and totally
different lifestyle and then there is her old flame Danny. All this calls for
an interesting storyline and excitement.
Cassie starts coming up with ideas for her parents’
café, some are better than other, but she always gets Danny’s help and she
starts to see life from a different perspective.
I really adored Cassie’s family, especially her nan.
They are a great mixture of people and they all add so much to the story.
The setting is absolutely beautifully and Karen Clarke
did a great job capturing it all.
Certain bits in the storyline seemed a bit unrealistic
and not authentic enough. This is a real pity, because I really liked the idea
behind it all.
There is a lot of humour in the storyline and I really
enjoyed the dialogue between the characters.
All in all, I think it’s a delightful and happy story.
