It's a nice story. A bit predictable but that did not detract from the enjoyment.

I have not listened to this narrator before.

Kept my interest

I always know I’m going to like a book within the first couple of minutes of listening. I love all Jenny Colgan books. The only thing though is that I think there’s a tiny chunk missing in Ch.18. Without spoiling the story I couldn’t find when Izzy finds out about her shop being sold. I listened to it over and over. Weird.

Pure joy

What a lovely and cheerful read! Nothing too complicated; a pure joy to read/listen in this case. My first Jenny Colgan book and believe you me not the last.

A brilliant first read!

As a baker, currently doing slimming world, I fancied a little baking novel to satisfy my love of baking. It did actually end up with me eating cake, but nevermind.

This is the first time I've read anything by Jenny and I must say, with this one, I was impressed. The piece was intriguing and the character sketches well written giving the reader a good idea of the characters from Jenny's minds eye. I personally found all of the characters involving, even minor ones ending up to play a bigger part. I was keen to know what happened next so carried on and finished in a week. I found some of the swearing unnecessary however. As a baker, of course, I loved the recipes and will be coming back to these.

Poor editing at key points in the story let it down

The story is good but two major editing fails at key points in the story did spoil it for me. I also found the male accents really poorly done.

Such a shame as the overall story is good.

Lovely warm absorbing story

I read this a number of years ago & remember enjoying it, & so thought I’d revisit it with Audible.

A lovely story! It’s written in such a way that you feel the atmosphere of the story, not just hear it. One feels absorbed in the lives of the characters & can easily imagine the cafe.

Wonderful & warm like a hug!

I’m sure I will listen to it again!
