Story
Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

Cute story
This is a cute and funny book about a young woman who must find the inner strength and self-confidence, when she and a lot of people must build a village on a island there hasn't been lived on for years. There's just one problem. Darcy is a city girl. She has no idea how to build a village from scratch. The story is great, the characters well developed and I really enjoyed listening. I like Darcy. But i just miss more romance. Overall a nice easy story, that i think most will enjoy.

An Enjoyable Listen
I really enjoyed this audiobook, and have actually listened to it a couple of times since downloading it. The story was great, the characters well developed and I really enjoyed listening. I can't think of much more to say than that, except if you are after a nice, light hearted story, this might be the one for you.

A light read
What did you love best about Breakfast at Darcy's?
Breakfast at Darcy's was an enjoyable light novel. I purchased this after reading Ali McNamara's other novel from "Notting Hill to New York Actually" which I really enjoyed. The setting for this novel on a remote island off the coast of Ireland is different. I found the story interesting but felt there could have been more detail on the roles the people coming to live on the island were going to play. There were areas for instance, Darcy going to buy chocolate at the shop, what shop? In the planning for the island settlement there had been no mention of the shop. I would have preferred a bit more detail, however having said that I really enjoyed the book it was light and a bit different.
I loved the way the author bought the characters to life I felt you really got to know and like them.
What other book might you compare Breakfast at Darcy's to and why?
I couldn't compare it with other chic lit novels this was not your usual romance more of an light interesting story with a touch of romance.
Have you listened to any of Beth Chalmers’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Beth Chalmer's performance was fine. I have not heard her other performances.
If you could rename Breakfast at Darcy's, what would you call it?
I am not sure this title was the right one. I feel it implies Darcy may have run a cafe or something. What else to call it? I do not know.

A lot of potential
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
It was time well spent, it was a relaxing read and perfect for the gym, driving or at night before going to sleep
What was one of the most memorable moments of Breakfast at Darcy's?
It was a light, fluffy novel... there were a lot of cute moments but nothing memorable... this book was easy to read as it will be to forget... nonetheless I don't regret finishing it.
Which scene was your favorite?
Isn't this review format supposed to ruin the surprise for whoever wants to finish it? Anyhow, the book is pretty predictable throughout nonetheless the author managed to create a good twist towards the end
Do you think Breakfast at Darcy's needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
it would be nice to read about the new adventures on the island, even if there should be some more depth into it.
Any additional comments?
This story had so, so much potential... it often seemed too obvious and bland; for example
**LIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD**
- the author doesn't justify enough the arrival of strangers on the island... why are these people coming and what, do they expect to be pampered?
- the love interests are not discussed thoroughly enough.. I cannot explain enough without ruining the story
FINAL COMMENTS
Read this book if you just want to spend a few pleasant light hours... the plot is quite cute but don't expect fireworks
