a bit too much romance for my taste but a pleasant feel-good read.

Summary:
Come and meet Issy Randall, proud owner of The Cupcake Cafe. Issy Randall can bake. No, more than that - Issy can create stunning, mouth-wateringly divine cakes. After a childhood spent in her beloved Grampa Joe's bakery, she has undoubtedly inherited his talent. When she's made redundant from her safe but dull City job, Issy decides to seize the moment. Armed with recipes from Grampa, and with her best friends and local bank manager fighting her corner, The Cupcake Cafe opens its doors. But Issy has absolutely no idea what she's let herself in for. It will take all her courage - and confectionery - to avert disaster ...

And I definitely did! I loved the story, a bit predictable, but that didn't decreased the joy of reading it. I loved the cupcake recipes in the book and all the characters.
Thanks again for the lovely suprprise, I'll find a next goal for this book. Thanks!

Thank you for sending me this book. I read one other book by Jenny Colgan which I really liked so I am sure I will enjoy it.

I enjoyed this book, it was a nice story. I just didn't like the jumping points of view, but I like the story itself enough to put up with it, so that is saying something.

Oh, this is a widely travelled book. I wondered where I got it from, but obviously I took it home from the Oxford convention and forgot to journal it.
I liked the way the baking always took center stage in this story. And that while it would not be complete without some romance, friendship and family were more important parts. Now I need to try some of the recipes.
