The Cherry Tree Cafe - Heidi Swain






Lizzie Dixon’s life feels as though it’s fallen apart. Instead of the marriage proposal she was hoping for from her boyfriend, she is unceremoniously dumped, and her job is about to go the same way. So, there’s only one option: to go back home to the village she grew up in and to try to start again.
 
Her best friend Jemma is delighted Lizzie has come back home as she has just bought a little cafe and Lizzie’s sewing skills are just what she needs to help get it ready for the grand opening.

With a new venture and a new home, things are looking much brighter for Lizzie. But can she get over her broken heart, and will an old flame reignite a love from long ago…?


My Review
I am ashamed to say this is the first one of Heidi’s book I have read. I don’t know why it has taken me so long to get around to reading one. This was a mix of bake off and the great British sewing bee. Two of the best programs on tv, the one with Mary Berry of course!
I just wanted to keep reading this book, it was such a nice light read perfect for the summer. It had a great set of characters, although some bits were a bit predicable, there were some bits I had no idea were coming. The story was really good, it was very well thought out and the writing style was really good. You felt like part of the gang and part of the village.
The cover is beautiful and the title is very sweet, from these two facts alone, you know you won’t be disappointed.
I had to go out and buy the rest of her books and I cannot wait to dig in.
4 stars
