But for them both the door to true love remains resolutely closed. So when Lorna is introduced to Jack at a dinner party and Lucien catches Phillys eye at the local farmers market, it seems that dreams really can come true and happy endings lie just around the corner.

This was really cute and I loved the setting and the general vibe and atmosphere. I didn‘t love the attitudes to relationships 100% of the time - it seemed like people got very possessive on very early dates in a way I wouldn‘t appreciate personally? But it didn‘t ruin the book and I‘d read more by the author.

A feel good romance, set in quintessential rural England. Totally implausible but lovable. You know that this one is going to have a happy ending!

Katie Fforde‘s books are entirely predictable, purely escapist, and very easy to read. Every book has a fairly similar plot line but I‘ve got to say, I really enjoyed this one. I didn‘t find it as predictable as some of her others. I love her characters. She always gives you someone to root for. You can devour them in a weekend. I think she had a slump a few years back but she‘s in fine form now. This and “A summer at sea”: great summer reading.
