In this book we meet Kate whom is in love with Nick an avid tv and puzzle lover. The couple are set to move in when suddenly Kate finds herself hurt, upset and back home with her fun time loving mum. Not great at forty...
So when her friend suggests volunteering, she winds up baking for an elderly ladies home where she meets grumpy writer Cecily who encourages her to chance her desires as she had an exciting life travelling and falling in love obviously with hardships too including the war.
As Kate finally takes her job and love life in hand following her fortieth birthday party then fail after from Nick will she learn that self love is more than enough for her and focus on putting her happiness first?
As she becomes a waitress she finds happiness and her life starts to fall into place with the arrival of a new man, her old man Nick and catfish ex get to see how well she's doing without them whilst Cecily becomes proud of her for her efforts with her old cook book opening new doors for her.
Based on the real life story of Cecily this book is a heartening look at friendship but crushing as it's a lot based on true fact. However the end is lovely but sad. I was really moved by the generation age gap friendship that develops and each character is very similar as they soon find over the course of them book. I thoroughly recommend this book especially if you love cooking or baking, it may even inspire you to try it!
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
