BOOK REVIEW: Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan
Christmas is all about festive cheer, family gatherings, laughter and plenty of food. But what happens when this harmonious situation is thrown off balance by unforeseen situations and the reluctance to accept life as it is?
It's Christmas in the Cornish coastal village of Mount Polbearne - a time for family, friends and feasting. Polly Waterford loves running the Little Beach Street bakery. She's at her happiest when she's creating delicious treats, and the festive season always inspires her to bake something extra special for the village residents.
In fact, the only thing she loves more than her bakery is curling up with her gorgeous boyfriend, Huckle. She's determined that this Christmas is going to be their best one yet, but sometimes life doesn't always work out as planned...
When Polly's best friend Kerensa turns up with a secret that threatens the life Polly and Huckle have built together, the future begins to look uncertain. Then a face from Polly's past reappears and things become even more complicated.
Polly can usually find solace in baking but she has a feeling that's not going to enough this time. Can she get things back on track so that everyone has a merry Christmas?
Well-written, this novel has Sophie Kinsella like vibes that will have girly readers relating to the humour in it. It teaches the value of unbreakable love and the essence of hope even when things are bleak. This light-hearted read is a definite pick-me up for anyone who is into a heartfelt story.
