This is my first Jay Northcote book and I really enjoyed it. I love that it's set in Cornwall, such a beautiful part of the UK. Northcote also gave it a cute, English village feel which really wanted me to take another holiday there.

I really hope the author continues this series as there were so many interesting characters we were introduced to, even just in the last few chapters. I loved the MC Seb right from the start, he was laidback, ambitious and enthusiastic about his new cafe. I must admit there were a few times I w ...more
