My thoughts –
This second outing to The Starfish Café has all the ingredients from the previous novel, heart-warming characters trying to move on from their troubled past with plenty of old-fashioned sweet romance and charm of life in a seaside town. It was nice to see that we were continuing with Hollie and Jake’s story, settled into their relationship and moving forward with their lives. They are such a sweet couple.
The addition of Tori’s story provided a fresh perspective to life in Whitsborough Bay. She is such a different character to Hollie, yet I loved the friendship that these two formed. Whilst Tori’s background is unique, I think the whole way that we look at things as children as opposed to adults is highly relatable. Her relationship story line, of a budding friendship to lovers’ story kept me turning the pages.
Whitsborough Bay was by no means a sleepy seaside resort, in-fact I thought that it had as much drama as a soap opera at times. I liked how the drama was related to the history of the town. Overall, another enjoyable outing with plenty of surprises in store. With thanks to Boldwood Books, Netgalley and Rachel’s Random Resources for this ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.
