Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Colgan

This is the Teachers and Friends Book Club selection for August, and we will be discussing it next week.  As you likely know by now, we try to match our book to a restaurant or event. In this case, we had the event first. We are going to make sourdough with Our Daily Bakes! So, we needed a book about baking. Mrs. Tirollo chose this one. It is the first in a series.

It's cute and happy. Not my...wait, I just wrote that a couple reviews ago today. Not something I'd read typically. 

Polly had a rough break-up and decides she needs English country air. She rents a very run down apartment and bakes to clear her mind. Soon the townsfolk, including local fishermen, are buying her loaves, angering the little old lady who owns the real bakery in town.

A LOT happens to this gal, including an affair with a married fisherman, a fling with a beekeeper who is actually an entrepreneur from Georgia USA, several arguments with said little old lady, battling rich people who want to change things, and adopting an injured puffin. 

It's a beach read for sure...
