Summary

The Beach Café is a story of new beginnings, love and adventure, from the Sunday Times best-selling author Lucy Diamond.

Evie Flynn has always been the black sheep of her family - a dreamer and a drifter, unlike her over-achieving elder sisters. She's tried making a name for herself as an actress, a photographer and a singer, but nothing has ever worked out. Now she's stuck in temp hell, with a sensible, pension-planning boyfriend. Somehow life seems to be passing her by.

Then her beloved aunt Jo dies suddenly in a car crash, leaving Evie an unusual legacy - her precious beach cafe in Cornwall. Determined to make a success of something for the first time in her life, Evie heads off to Cornwall to get the cafe and her life back on track - and gets more than she bargained for, both in work and in love....

Narration great, perfect for this easy listen.

Good easy story with plenty of content. The narrator was very good and her different accents were excellent.

Loved it!

I really enjoy listening to Lucy Diamond novels. Jane Collingwood is one of my favourite narrators.

The Story was great and I love that there are sequel books to the Beach Cafe that I will definitely be listening too.

I like escapism in stories and it has to be light hearted for me. I don't want to read a book that is sad and depressing, leaving me crying ~~ no way!

I love listening to books that make me laugh out loud and have a happy positive ending, that leaves me with a warm glow inside.


Yes I recommend this book, it is worth the credit!
