The new beginnings coffee club

When I picked this up I was expecting a light hearted, easy read. What I got was a heart warming tale of second chances. And I loved it.
The Coffee Club is the best coffee place for miles around, run by Noah and Elle. When Jennys marriage to Zak, the owner of a local fashion house, falls apart after some shocking revelations from the man himself, Jenny finds herself and her 10 yr old daughter April sharing a cottage with the Coffee Club owners. What appears at first glance to be a total comedown complete with public humiliation at leaving a multi millionaire and an 8 bed house to move into a loft conversion where Jenny and April share a room turns into a starting point for a new life, after hitting rock bottom.
This is a story of not only starting over, but finding yourself again. Whether you are a 30 something adult or a 10 yr old child, it's never to late.
We are introduced to such an amazing cast of characters. The author has given them all such depth and are completely relatable. I'd like to say I loved them all, but as with any community, there are some that will grate on you, we can't like everyone, right? And this is testament to the skill of the writer that she can evoke these feelings in the reader and it just makes it all the more believable.
I have to say that I'm finding myself hoping the author has plans to write more stories set in this village. There are a lot of the supporting /fringe characters that I feel I'd like to get to know better. And I'd like to revisit this little group to see how their stories progress further down the line. All in all, a superb read with some profound storylines tackling some hard hitting issues. Dealt with in a sympathetic manner and a book that has clearly been well researched. I highly recommend this to everyone.
