The Enchanted Garden Café

The South Side Stories, Book 1

By: Abigail Drake

Narrated by: Sarah Naughton

Something magical is happening, but will she be brave enough to see it?

For her sixth birthday, Fiona Campbell’s mother, Claire, made her a peace-sign piñata filled with wishes for a better planet instead of candy. When she got her period, her mother held a womanhood ceremony at their café and invited the neighborhood. On her 16th birthday, they celebrated with a drum circle.

Fiona grew up trying to keep the impulsive Claire in check and their struggling café afloat. She plans to move out, but first she must find a way to stop a big corporation from tearing down their business and destroying her mother’s livelihood. Claire thinks karma will solve their financial and legal problems. Fiona prefers a spreadsheet and a solid business plan. The last thing she has time for is Matthew Monroe, a handsome complication who walks through their door with a guitar on his back and a naughty gleam in his eye.

You won’t want to stop listening!

This was an excellent audiobook. The audible narration was spot on to the amazing story that Abigail Drake created.

Amazing audiobook!

I enjoyed this book very much and it’s a plus when the audio is also well done

Relationships between characters

Good story (if a little predictable) with interesting characters. Little holes in the plot here and there, but overall a good listen.

Loved the characters and the story

Abigail Drake strikes again what an enjoyable read!!! Loved the characters, the setting so fun to have it set in Pittsburgh and the fun storyline!!

Cute and Cozy

Cute and cozy listen, especially loved all the yummy recipe references. Not a fan of the reader'a inflections at the end of every sentence making everything sound like a question.
