The Little Book Cafe: Emma's Story
Georgia Hill
Rating: 5 stars
Escape to the seaside for a new three-part series for fans of The Canal Boat Cafe and Willow Cottage
When Emma discovers that Berecombe's fabulous book cafe is running a literary course for beginners, she is excited to give it a try. She's always wanted to study more, and it doesn't hurt that Joel, the suave and charming new teacher is pretty easy on the eye...
The more she learns, the more she starts to question whether she really wants the life she has built up. Her boyfriend of forever, Ollie, is constantly training with the RNLI, so they hardly get to see each other, and she is pretty sure Joel has a soft spot for her...
Will Joel sweep her off her feet? Or can Ollie make the most important rescue of his life?
---------------------------
What a great way to go back to Berecombe again. I adored the first novella in this little series so I was really looking forward to going back again and reading more about the characters. Straight from the off there's drama and that just caught my attention immediately and I found the whole storyline so engaging. The cover is so cute and I love the colours, it just looks so inviting!
The story this time follows Emma, who works alongside Tash (who was the main character of the first novella) as an estate agent in the cute little seaside town of Berecombe. Emma feels lost in her life, decides to jump at the chance of joining a literary course in order to make her life feel a bit more exciting. Her family are constantly arguing and her home is a mad-house, she is currently saving every penny to move in with RNLI-mad boyfriend Ollie but is getting no where and she fancies the pants of her new teacher Joel.
Emma's life is anything but simple at the moment, and as the novella continues we learn a lot about Emma's character. At some parts Emma annoyed me. Yes, I'm sure Ollie talking about the RNLI is a tad boring, but why doesn't she voice this? Instead she makes Ollie feel worthless and I imagine that isn't a very nice feeling. I also felt for Emma's family, I'm sure it is mad at times but I feel Emma was quite horrible about her family sometimes - after all, family is family!
At other points, I really felt for Emma too and I was just hooked on Emma's story from the off. I read this in one day so it's the perfect novel to pick up and delve into whilst lounging by the pool if you're on holiday, or just lounging on the sofa with a snuggly throw and hot chocolate. It's entertaining, it's an easy read and I urge you to give this series a go. Overall, another great instalment by Georgia Hill. Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read this novel, which I have reviewed honestly.
