Did I enjoy this book? This book was adorable! Definitely a good read. I found the main character, Polly, to be someone I could relate to. She threw her entire life into something and it didn’t work. So she did what any self-respecting woman would do–move to a barely habitable apartment in a middle-of-nowhere town and bake bread to give away for free. All while adopting a seabird as a pet. I know how strange all of this sounds! Read it anyway. The book is adorable, the characters are cute, and it takes place in a cute little town in England. If I could find any fault with the book, I would have liked more descriptions of the scenery.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely! This was a cute read and perfect for your upcoming summer vacation! Just be prepared, this book will make you want to eat ALL the bread!
 

 

About the book – from Goodreads: Amid the ruins of her latest relationship, Polly Waterford moves far away to the sleepy seaside resort of Polbearne, where she lives in a small, lonely flat above an abandoned shop.

To distract her from her troubles, Polly throws herself into her favorite hobby: making bread. But her relaxing weekend diversion quickly develops into a passion. As she pours her emotions into kneading and pounding the dough, each loaf becomes better than the last. Soon, Polly is working her magic with nuts and seeds, olives and chorizo, and the local honey-courtesy of a handsome local beekeeper. Drawing on reserves of determination and creativity Polly never knew she had, she bakes and bakes . . . and discovers a bright new life where she least expected it.
