Book Review // Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe

Rating: 3.5/5

Synopsis: 

“Issy Randall can bake. No, Issy can create stunning, mouthwateringly divine cakes. After a childhood spent in her beloved Grampa Joe's bakery, Issy has undoubtedly inherited his talent. She's much better at baking than she is at filing, so when she's laid off from her desk job and loses her boyfriend, Issy decides to open her own little café. But she soon learns that her piece-of-cake recipe for a fresh start might be a little more complicated than throwing some sugar and butter together.” -Amazon.com

What I thought about it:

I adore this book! The characters were so sweet and charming (except Graeme). I loved the story of Issy making her way back. Often times we just need a little push in the right direction in order to pursue our dreams. For Issy, she had a strong nudge, but it paid off in the long run. She grew more confident in herself, and as a new business woman. Her friendship with Austin was endearing, and totally relatable. Austin was a good guy from the start but knew he needed to keep his distance from Issy because of their working relationship. I appreciated his professionalism. Grandpa Joe was a sweet underlining character in this book and it was easy to relate to. Can’t wait to write down some of these recipes and get cooking. 

Jenny Colgan's writing is so easy to enjoy. Her writing style and stories makes me happy!
