My Review:
Hollie and Jake have broken hearts. Hollie has been through good times and bad. She hopes the café will still be the important place her mum created it to be. She and her mum are very close and I liked thst.
There are moments of tragedy in this book and there are always sweet treats and good company. I was won over by the mention of hot chocolate with marshmallows and chocolate buttons (I will have to try it like that) at the beginning of the book and felt the atmosphere of the café and surrounding area was somewhere I wanted to be.
Can Jake forget the past and move on?
Jessica Redland’s books are uplifting and I’m looking forward to discovering more of them after this. I enjoyed Finding Love at Hedgehog Hollow and All you Need is Love.
Her writing style is always gripping, immersive and makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
I can’t rate this book highly enough. It’s beautiful.
Thanks to Jessica Redland, Boldwood Books and Rachel’s Random Resources for my ARC in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.
