About this listen

 Summer is on the horizon, and the people of Porthmellow are eagerly awaiting the annual food festival. At least, most of them are…

For Sam Lovell, organising the summer festival in her hometown is one of the highlights of her year. It’s not always smooth sailing, but she loves to see Porthmellow’s harbour packed with happy visitors, and being on the committee has provided a much-needed distraction from the drama in her family life (and the distinct lack of it in her love life).

When their star guest pulls out with only a few weeks to go, everyone’s delighted when a London chef who grew up locally steps in at the last minute. But Gabe Matthias is the last person Sam was expecting to see, and his return to Porthmellow will change her quiet coastal life for ever.

This was a sweet story. Nothing to write home about and so I don’t feel I can give it more than 3 stars. However it was enjoyable and nice to read about seaside Cornish villages during this lockdown time! The narrator was good, one or two characters sounded a little similar but on the whole was good. I’d recommend if you want a quick read/listen and some escapism.

Nothing particularly exciting and a slightly repetitive storyline but an easy listen nonetheless. Loved the narration, excellent storytelling.
