Synopsis:
Escape to the seaside for a new three-part series for fans of The Canal Boat Cafe and Willow Cottage
When Emma discovers that Berecombe’s fabulous book café is running a literary course for beginners, she is excited to give it a try. She’s always wanted to study more, and it doesn’t hurt that Joel, the suave and charming new teacher is pretty easy on the eye…
The more she learns, the more she starts to question whether she really wants the life she has built up. Her boyfriend of forever, Ollie, is constantly training with the RNLI, so they hardly get to see each other, and she is pretty sure Joel has a soft spot for her…
Will Joel sweep her off her feet? Or can Ollie make the most important rescue of his life?
My Thoughts
Emma’s Story is the second book in the three part series. I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the others, but still liked meeting all the characters again. Emma works with Tash in the town’s real estate agents and is quite frustrated and bored with her life.
“There was always too much noise and too many arguments going on in this house. And, at the same time, nothing ever changed.”
Emma is a member of the small book club in Berecombe, along with Tash and Amy (from the other 2 books) and some other friends. One of the members decides to run a 4 week beginner’s literature course, which Emma joins to try to counteract the boredom in her life.
“...’Look’, she began, ‘I love my job and I love living in Berecombe, but sometimes it gets a bit boring round here. Especially out of season. I just want the old grey cells rattled a bit’...”
Even though this book was an enjoyable read and all the characters were very likeable, it was very predictable so at times it was quite boring. I’m glad I read the whole three part series and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all the characters again in each book.
