Years ago Flora fled the quiet Scottish island where she grew up - and she hasn't looked back. What would she have done on Mure? It's a place where everyone has known her all her life, where no one will let her forget the past. In bright, bustling London, she can be anonymous, ambitious...and hopelessly in love with her boss. But when fate brings Flora back to the island, she's suddenly swept once more into life with her brothers - all strapping, loud, and seemingly incapable of basic housework - and her father.

Great follow up
so very glad I didn't believe some of the reviews. it was lovely to find out what happened with all of the people from the first book. hopefully a 3rd book will follow as even though the storyline ended well it has an excellent opportunity for taking the caracters further.

Second in the series
This book is just as good as the first about the cupcake cafe.
When you start to read you get drawn back into the lives of the characters,
Some you would like to shake or even slap and others you want to hug and protect. Every emotion you can think of rides throughout this book.
Brilliant five stars.

narration spoiled it
I really enjoyed the story itself- I wish now that I had read it rather than listened to it. When the narrator spoke in her own voice as the main character it was great, but her attempts at the voices of the other characters was cringe-worthy!

Jenny Colgan has written another winner while Penelope Rawlins is descriptive, vibrant and eloquent in her reading.
Favourite part was Christmas day and all the emotions that were beautifully described and read by Colgan and Rawlins respectively.
Thoroughly enjoyed this story.
