But Mount Polbearne is a far cry from the sleepy little place she was imagining.

Especially when she finds herself somehow involved with a tiny local bakery desperately in need of some new zest to save it . . . ___________________________________ Why readers ADORE Jenny Colgan 'Jenny Colgan has a way of writing that makes me melt inside' 'Her books are so good I want to start over as soon as I have finished' 'There's something so engaging about her characters and plots' 'Her books are like a big, warm blanket' 'Her stories are just so fabulous' 'She brings her settings and characters so vividly to life' 'The woman is just magic' Review: Fun and music! - At first I was puzzled by the turn the story was taking...but then I became intrigued by the bear, his music and his neighbour.... and ended absolutely loving the whole story, It made me laugh, listen more carefully to Satie's Gymnpedies, yearn for pizza and other Italina delicacies... tear at touching moments... in all a great new episde of life in Polbearn! Review: As Charming as Ever - Book #4 in the Little Beach Street Bakery series reintroduces us to Polly, Huckle, and their now-5-year-old twins, who live in a lighthouse in the seaside village of Mount Polbearne in Cornwall. Polly owns and operates the Little Beach Street bakery, while Huckle owns a honey distribution business, and Neil the puffin is still their frequent companion. But the focus of this book is on Marissa, a town registrar, whose landlord suggests she move to one of the vacation cottages in Mount Polbearne when she develops an anxiety disorder following the death of her treasured grandfather in Italy. Marissa keeps herself housebound after her move until her new therapist prescribes a gradual plan to expand her horizons. Complicating the plan, however, is the bear-like piano teacher who moved in next door on the same day Marissa arrived, driving her crazy with his loud and seemingly discordant playing at night, not to mention his easily-heard commentary on his students' progress by day. Like all of Colgan's wonderfully appealing books, this one has unique and lovable characters, drama (a hurricane and financial near-disasters). food (from both Polly and Marissa), and a satisfying ending. It also includes the most extravagant children's birthday party you've ever seen, as well as the ingenious idea to leave a FaceTime connection open 24/7 between Marissa and her grandmother. Always charming, always reliable and heart-warming.

Great pace
Loved it from start to finish. Wonderful sense of community and the possibilities around dealing with depression and loss. Lots of comedy as well. Uplifting

The second book with a psychological challenge. Oddly satisfying and heartwarming.
After 500 miles and a psychological problem (PTSD) here is another in Sunrise by the sea. Exploring agoraphobia, Jenny continues with a psychologist trying to help her main character to heal and step back into a different, more remote world . It’s not just escapism - but redemption.
