Little Beach Street Bakery: The ultimate feel-good read from the Sunday Times bestselling author

Product Information

Then, the end. Well the happy end was okay, but not nearly cute enough. At all. And before the final happy end, of course there had to be some total, life-threatening drama. Which had to do with the sea, just as in the first part. Okay, they live on a tiny island, so heavy storms and huge waves and whatnot are probably most likely, but still. And after that Polly is the most wonderful heroine of all time, blah, blah, blah. How could it have been any different? Polly Waterford is recovering from a toxic relationship. Unable to afford their flat, she has to move miles away from everyone, to a sleepy little seaside resort in Cornwall, where she lives alone above an abandoned shop. I am beginning to get a little soft spot for Mount Polbearne – a quintessentially Cornish seaside town with cobbled streets, a fishing fleet and a lighthouse, it really does sound the perfect holiday destination and this book in particularly has really got me yearning for the summer to come now. Hoover is one of the freshest voices in new-adult fiction, and her latest resonates with true emotion, unforgettable characters and just the right amount of sexual tension.

I loved all of the scenes where she actually baked the bread and thought about bread - it was fun to learn about all the different types and what you need to do to make them. En definitiva, la autora nos regala una lectura amena con personajes pintorescos y entrañables, no tiene grandes pretensiones más que entretener y hacer pasar un buen momento al lector, mezclando romance, humor y algún que otro drama. And there is many a challenge for Polly to face, this including the demons of her past that she worked so hard to escape and the manner in which her relationship with her gorgeous boyfriend keeps evolving. That was (quite possibly) the worst American accent on an audiobook that I've ever had the displeasure of listening to.

But the summer breeze hides an unsettling wind that is blowing through town and Polly is hiding a secret – one that could hurt her friend Selina who is recently widowed and who has come to the town to recover. Jenny Colgan loves Cornwall and it shows. Her settings might originate from her imagination but they are steeped in history and her childhood. The name ‘Little Beach Street Bakery’ refers to a series of novels written by Jenny Colgan. The books tell the heartwarming story of a woman who moves to a new town to get away from her troubles. I love the setting, I love the characters, but I was expecting a Christmas book. Christmas was not the focal point of the story. I have read two other books by Jenny Colgan with Christmas in the title, and Christmas played a prominent role in the story. If you’re looking I love Jenny Colgan's other books - The Bookshop on the Corner and Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe - but this one didn't hit as well as those ones.Primera vez que leo a Jenny Colgan y ha sido una buena experiencia, me ha mantenido entretenida y enganchada en una historia sencilla y ligera.

LITTLE BEACH STREET BAKERY | Kirkus Reviews SUMMER AT LITTLE BEACH STREET BAKERY | Kirkus Reviews

When Polly’s long-term relationship comes crashing down and with it the business they’ve built together, she’s left to start over completely from scratch. With so few options available to her, she agrees to rent a run-down flat with a leaky roof on the island of Polbearne. She finds solace in utilizing her baking skills and filling the air of the island with the enticing smell of freshly baked bread. I absolutely LOVE Jenny Colgan’s books, they always fill me with such happiness and I love jumping right in and immersing myself in her novels, so I was VERY excited about Little Beach Street Bakery. I think the biggest reason that I didn't like or finish this the first time and why I gave this 2 stars now is that I got exhausted by the character of Polly. She just seemed fixated on moving on from her long-term boyfriend and instead of baking (there is that) we just focused on her romances with two men. And one of those men was inappropriate so I ended up disliking him for the rest of the book. I also thought the book was super short-sighted with regards to the slowly dying village deciding it didn't want a bridge into it. There are near misses by people throughout the book dealing with almost being washed away trying to get there so it made zero sense to me that this was a thing to debate. One response to “ Excerpt, Recipe & Giveaway: Summer at Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan” Retreating further and further from normal life, she moves to the end of the earth—the remote tidal island of Mount Polbearne, at the foot of Cornwall, hoping for peace and solitude, whilst carrying on her job as a registrar, dealing with births, weddings, and deaths, even as she feels life is passing her by.Little Beach Street Bakery was everything that I hoped it would be and more! There are a wonderful selection of characters to meet and get to know, and by the end of the book, all of the local people felt like my own personal neighbours and friends. I especially loved that they had their own individual voices and issues in their lives, and that some of these were explored too. And best of all? The book even has the most adorable puffin in it!
