The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop and Cafe 
Pretty predictable romance, I was most interested in the grandmother's past abd the town if Beacon, but the book did not go into that very deeply. Not a very satisfying read, kind if like fast food instead of a real meal.
I had a rule that I would only give one star reviews to books that I couldn't finish, but I'm giving one here to a book I did finish because I hated it more and more as I read it (actually, I probably just skimmed the last two chapters, so "finishing" is open to interpretation). First, the title and cover photo are totally misleading (I know, I know, don't judge a book), this is not a charming "School of Essential Ingredients" book about cooking; rather, the main character seems to have an

Put a picture of food on a book cover and I will read it. Plus, its summer, and summer reading should be light and fun: think slow, hot days, quaint seaside towns and family secrets. Toss in a handsome local and a few laughs, and you have the Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop & Café by Mary Sims.The story takes place in Beacon, Maine, where the neighbors dont miss much and where Ellen Branfords grandmother grew up. High-powered Manhattan attorney Ellen finds herself in a bit of culture shock
This was a great example of why sometimes I need to put a book down and then get back to it in a few days. It started off slow, and I found in the beginning that I did not like Ellen very much. I am really happy I kept reading after the first 20% the book it started to turn into a great debut novel and Ellen was not as self-centered as I felt she was in the beginning of the book. I would consider this women's lit or romance and not a foodie book at all. It has no recipes and very little mention
A sweet romance set in Maine. The main character is visiting a small town to deliver a letter her grandmother wrote before she died. While trying to find the supposed recipient of this letter she starts to have feelings for a resident of the small town. Their relationship develops as she finds the letter taking her deeper into the early life of her beloved grandmother. I've been reading a lot of grandmother stories lately and they are always populated with someone wonderful - someone you wish
Loved it. Goodreads GiveawayIt started out fast paced, which grabs me every time. You have your big city girl, Ellen, who was very close to her grandma who passes away and her dying request was to have Ellen deliver a letter for her, in a small town in another city/state, where everyone knows each other to a man she onced loved many years ago. In trying to deliver this letter, Ellen finds things out about her grandmother that none of them knew about. Her first day, she falls into the ocean and
