The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop & Cafe is a beautifully written book based in Maine. I have to say, despite having a great story, the best thing about this book is the setting. The sleepy town of Beacon, Maine is described so elegantly that it makes you want to hop on a plane and visit.
Simses has a witty writing style, in a similar manner as the Bridget Jones books. I felt that I knew Ellen incredibly well by the final pages, and you close the book feeling you've left a well-loved character in a happy place.
The book reads like a romantic comedy, but thankfully there is no heavy on-slaught of mushy romance. Instead there is a wondrous mix of 'will they/won't they' between Ellen and Roy alongside Ellen's endeavour to seek out her grandmother's past.
This really is a beautiful story and one I will certainly read again whenever I need a little 'happily ever after'.
