Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan
3.0

I listened to the audiobook, and that took away some of the charm of this book for me. The narrator is an eloquent, older British woman narrating for a cheeky, 30-something baker, and the voice didn’t align with the character. Her male voices were also off-putting.

As far as the story, I liked the characters and character growth. There were some pieces that confused me. I thought for a minute that the vet was going to be a love interest because we jump into his head and hear him think about how pretty Polly is, but it never goes anywhere. I also found the line about wanting to bury her head in his chest hair to be bizarre. Overall though, it’s a good story and I enjoyed it.
