Summary
The brand new book from best-selling author Debbie Johnson will make you laugh, make you cry and make you raid the pantry in the middle of the night....
The Comfort Food Cafe is perched on a windswept clifftop at what feels like the edge of the world, serving up the most delicious cream teas, beautifully baked breads and carefully crafted cupcakes. For tourists and locals alike, the ramshackle cafe overlooking the beach is a beacon of laughter, companionship and security - a place like no other, a place that offers friendship as a daily special and where a hearty welcome is always on the menu.
For widowed mum of two Laura Walker, the decision to uproot her teenage children and make the trek from Manchester to Dorset for the summer isn’t one she takes lightly, and it’s certainly not winning her any awards from her kids, Nate and Lizzie. Even her own parents think she’s gone mad.
Her new job at the cafe, and the hilarious people she meets there, give Laura the chance she needs to make new friends, to learn to be herself again and - just possibly - to learn to love again as well.
For her, the Comfort Food Cafe doesn’t just serve food - it serves a second chance to live her life to the full....

easy listening, heart warming story
Loved this book. Not too mushy but still a lovely romance. You can almost smell the sea air wafting over the cliff and into the cafe, mixing with the smell of chocolate cakes, scones and cheesecakes

Great disappointment.
Why is it that there is a change of narrator during a series of books? I enjoyed the first in this series ,got used to the voices of the characters only to find it all different in the second. Why is it that Matt suddenly becomes a Dorset man when he comes from London, This is a big disappointment, one which I shall not bother listening to to the end and will not even try for the third in the series.

Absolutely glorious
Oh my goodness this book is glorious, I got totally engrossed in listening to it and it is beautifully written and very well narrated. I ended up in tears and can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series.

This has potential
I don't know if was the narrator or the story but I can't decide whether to say I liked it or not, as at times I was really into it and other times I felt like giving it up and going onto something else. Not a great deal happens, it does have a definite storyline, the direction seems to get lost at times and I liked that it was like going on a holiday. Nothing awfulà happens which is what I look for and there were some moments of humour.
