A review by bookmadjo
The Cornish Cream Tea Bus by Cressida McLaughlin
5.0
This book is the perfect summer read. It made me want to pack everything up, set up a catering business in a vintage bus and head straight to Cornwall. I loved the setting in Porthgolow, a fictional Cornish cove that sounded idyllic. I found my own vacations in Cornwall as a child, and more recently, formed my vision of what Porthgolow looked like, and I really felt that the book transported me there.
I really enjoyed Charlie as a character, she was strong and determined, and I really loved her interactions with Daniel. It always makes me happy to have a doggy character in a book, and I thought Marmite was an adorable little scamp!
This was a real feel-good book, with a little intrigue thrown into the mix. As much as I would want to live in this Cornish book world, having driven on Cornish roads, Charlie was a much braver person than I, because I would not want to drive a vintage bus on the twisty lanes in Cornwall! This was such a wonderful read, that I can highly recommend.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Harper Collins for the opportunity to read and review this book. On sale today, I shall be getting a copy for my bookshelf too!
