Summary

Searching for love? You'll find it at The Little Café at the End of the Pier.... 

When Jo's beloved grandparents ask for her help in running their little café at the end of the pier in Salthaven-on-Sea, she jumps at the chance. 

The café is a hub for many people: the single dad who brings his little boy in on a Saturday morning; the lady who sits alone and stares out to sea; the woman who pops in after her morning run.

Jo soon realises that each of her customers is looking for love - and she knows just the way to find it for them. She goes about setting each of them up on blind dates - each date is held in the café, with a special menu she has designed for the occasion.

But Jo has never found love herself. She always held her grandparents' marriage up as her ideal, and she hasn't found anything close to that. But could it be that love is right under her nose?

A really slow book

It is a very slow paced book. A lot of details and descriptions rather that action. I suppose it depends on what you like but it wasn’t a ‘page turner’ for me.

Nice enough, but disappointing

It was a nice enough life to get swept up into, but a bit unrealistic and a bit indulgent... Also, just seemed like the author was trying to confuse the listener rather than any of their behaviour being realistic. I actually fast forwarded the ending (which dragged a bit!) Have never done that before 🙈

Couldn’t finish it… too longwinded and not interesting!

Potential for a really good story but unfortunately the author dragged everything out and I lost interest!

Delightful!!

Absolutely loved this audio book!! Full of laughs, creativity, friendship and romance there is something here for everyone. Such a heartwarming story to listen too on a cold Winters day and I've even picked up a few receipe tips. Would thoroughly recommend this to anyone who loves baking and small town life!
