THE SEAFRONT TEAROOM is a cozy, comfy, sweet read. But if they are your thing it will be an added bonus. I enjoyed it, but not being into cooking cakes and such, I ignored the recipes at the end of the book. How cute is the cover? It really sets the tone of what to expect from this book- a couple of hours of escapist reading. Just the sort of thing if you want a comfort, feel good read with an interesting setting and likable characters and who doesn’t want those at times? This is my second read by this author and I enjoyed it a little more than I did The Vintage Teacup Club, as I liked these characters better. This is not an angst riddled, thought provoking, read but for a bit of light reading it fulfils its purpose well. There’s also a bit of romance as you would expect. I liked the friendship that developed between journalist Charlotte, who was after Britain’s best tea room, Kathryn, a single mother who ends up helping Charlotte research, and Seraphine, a French au pair with a passion for pastry making. An enjoyable read, even for those of us who are not into high teas, gooey cakes and pastries and all that goes with them.
