Summary
The blossom is out in the little Cornish harbour town of St Felix.
But Poppy Carmichael's spirits aren't lifted by the pretty West Country spring. Inheriting her grandmother's flower shop has forced her to return to Cornwall, a place that holds too many memories.
Poppy is determined to do her best for the sake of her adored grandmother, but she struggles with the responsibility of the more-shabby-than-chic shop. And with the added complication of Jake, the gruff but gorgeous local flower grower, Poppy is very tempted to run away....
The pretty little town has a few surprises in store for Poppy. With new friends to help her and romance blooming, it's time for Poppy to open her heart to St Felix and to the special magic of a little flower shop by the sea!
Let Ali McNamara, author of the much-loved From Notting Hill with Love...Actually, bring some sparkling sunshine into your life.

Good listen
Would you consider the audio edition of The Little Flower Shop by the Sea to be better than the print version?
only had the audio version
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Little Flower Shop by the Sea?
Just overall a good listen
What aspect of Emma Powell’s performance might you have changed?
I think it was a shame that she got the main male characters name wrong several times and by the end of the book it started to irritate me. Jack and Jake are quite different!

a bit too much
What disappointed you about The Little Flower Shop by the Sea?
The story was a bit too much, it got worse and worse as the story went on.
Would you ever listen to anything by Ali McNamara again?
I don't know. I enjoyed Breakfast at Darcy's and thought that this could be as a good one.
Any additional comments?
As I normally listen to at least one book in a week, I have plenty of good ones that I listen again and again.. This is one that I'll never listen to again. Pity i cannot return it.

very confused narrator
the story is ok but the author used too much description of who was speaking at first when the narrators voice should have told the listener. The narrator also kept getting the names wrong, she kept calling "Jake", "Jack".

Great holiday read
This is a great story, with characters you can relate to. Plays with the emotions so keep the tissues handy! Narration enhances the book rather than getting in the way of it.

Good, but very very bad American accent
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Its a book that you dont need to concentrate on and that you can just listen too whilst doing other things. I wasnt engaged but it was enjoyable and easy listening
How could the performance have been better?
The American accent is just terrible. It sounds like the cornish accents that the narrator does.
Do you think The Little Flower Shop by the Sea needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, I think that tje story was comeltely exhausted as the story-line was just so random

An easy listen
What did you like best about The Little Flower Shop by the Sea? What did you like least?
The setting was by far it's best feature. I found the fact that the reason behind the main characters issues was alluded so many times was both irritating and unnecessary. It didn't add to the story in anyway and made the character more irritating and immature.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
I can't say the narrator was my favourite but it was listenable. For some reason she kept intermittently calling the character Jake, Jack. The first time it jolted me as I wracked my brains of a character called Jack and towards the end it happens more frequently.
Did The Little Flower Shop by the Sea inspire you to do anything?
No.
Any additional comments?
Typical formulaic "chick lit" story but better than most. Not my usual type of listen but enjoyable. The male characters could have been cooked up for a wistful teenage audience, they are very two dimensional and bland. The main character is slightly irritating but I found it to be an easy listen.
