Kim Nash writes characters that I enjoy spending time with. They are likeable, charming, and warm. They are not without flaws, which makes them more relatable and endearing. I also adore the sense of community she creates and the relationships that are formed between the characters. The sense of Camaraderie, support, and understanding between them is a joy to read. Plus, the setting by the sea makes for a lovely read. I enjoyed sitting back with a cup of tea while going back to Cornish Cove.
Gemma runs a cafe that is a favorite in the Cornish Cove community. She is a lovely woman with a big heart. She is the type of character that you know you would want to be friends with if she were a real person. When she decides to expand her cafe, she asks her friend Clem for help- very noisy help. She also needs to hire more staff and one of them is a teenager girl named Occy. Occy’s father just happens to be Jude Adams, a local fire and safety officer.
I enjoyed spending time with both old and new characters. Both Gemma and Jude have past pain (don’t we all) in their lives which they are working on. I enjoyed their journey from meeting to becoming friends, to becoming more to each other.
I enjoy the book’s focus on new beginnings, healing, family, friendship, community, and love. For me this was a feel-good book that also dealt with real life issues with grace and care. I found this book to be well written, perfectly paced and like a warm hug.
Charming, delightful, well written, and a joy to read! I look forward to reading more of Kim Nash’s books in the future.
