The Little Beach Street Bakery

by Jenny Colgan       Audio Book:  12 hrs.  33 mins      Hardback Book:  562 pages             

A fun read that will have the reader laughing out loud from the conversations the characters have.    A really great feel good story.    Lots of things happening throughout.   What starts out as Polly Waterford running away from the heartache of a broken relationship but finds a whole new life in a tiny seaside town in Cornwall.    She immediately fits right in and while not everyone in town is her friend from the get-go, she has such a great sense of humor and a heart that goes out to people and animals that she is one of those folks you just can’t help but like.    Her one particular foe in town proves to have many layers and once she learns of them – it leads to a whole new attitude.    The characters are so great in this story that the reader will feel like you are right there in the midst of all that is going on – when words can turn your thoughts to becoming almost tangible you know you have a good book.    I must warn you – all the food mentioned and the talk of breadmaking will have you wanting to partake right along with the folks there and actually that just adds even more flavor – pun intended – to the story.    I love these folks and I am on to the next book in the series so I can go back and visit with them some more.     And of course I fell madly in love with her Puffin friend, Neil.     I love it from beginning to end and highly recommend this book to anyone with the wanderlust to just get away sometimes.
