Wartime Brides and Wedding Cakes by Amy Miller
5.0
This is the second book in the Wartime Bakery saga and would definitely read Heartaches and Christmas cakes which is the first to familiarise yourself with the characters.
I adored the first book in the series and couldn’t wait to catch up with the characters again as the author really draws you in so that what happens to the characters feels like it is happening to you or a very close friend at least.
Audrey is as strong and determined as ever. No matter what life throws at her she really takes it all in her stride. The parts to do with her and Mary were so emotional and found myself a blubbering wreck quite a few times. Mary is such an adorable little girl that has had far to much heartbreak in her life for one so young and my heart was literally breaking.
As with the first book, you really get a sense of the loss and devastation that occurred during the war. Not just with just losing family members but the businesses and how it affected them. I really loved how people pulled together though and the whole community spirit at times made me feel like my heart would burst with pride.
Wartime Brides and Wedding Cakes is such a bitter sweet read. It is heartwarming and emotional and a book that I didn’t put down until I turned the last page. I couldn’t help myself but devour this gorgeous story in one go, only problem is I now have to wait for the next one.
My thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for an advanced readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.
