My Review

I have read many books by this author and she is an automatic read for me. Her books leave me feeling happy and satisfied. It will be a fun challenge for myself to find and read the rest of her books. This is the second book in the Starfish Cafe series and it’s so much fun meeting back up with characters from the past book, it feels like we are meeting old friends again and we are now making new friends with this new book. The nice thing about this book is the relatable characters, you can see yourself in them and they are in believable situations. What they are going through makes you stop and reflect on what you’re going through as well. The author writes from the heart. You can feel the tension and uncertainty the characters have, we are all flawed and carry secrets but with close friends to help shoulder the burden you feel uplifted. The book revolves around friendship,family and community. It is an emotional and uplifting page-turner. Published April 5th 2022 I was given a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

About The Author

A warm welcome to my author page! Thank you for visiting.

I live in Scarborough on the stunning North Yorkshire Coast in the UK. My home inspired the creation of the fictional seaside town of Whitsborough Bay where I set some of my books. The Hedgehog Hollow series takes readers to a gorgeous countryside setting on the Yorkshire Wolds.

I live with my husband, our teenage daughter and sprocker spaniel, Ella. I’m a stationery addict with a notepad obsession who loves chocolate (although it doesn’t love me), hedgehogs, 80s music, collectible teddy bears and lighthouses.

My career has mainly been in HR as a trainer and recruiter. I had a brief detour into retail to set up and manage my own specialist teddy bear shop and started writing my debut novel on quiet days in the shop.

In June 2020, I became a full-time author. I’m so very grateful to anyone who has bought or borrowed my books in whatever format, helping me fulfil a long-held dream of writing full-time. I still can’t believe I get to spend every day chatting to my fictional friends and making stuff up.

Thank you Boldwood Books and Rachel Random Resources for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today. May your day be blessed.
