    About this ebook

    Cupcakes, crafting and love at The Cherry Tree Cafe... Perfect feel-good summer reading for fans of Great British Bake-Off

    Lizzie Dixon's life feels as though it's fallen apart. Instead of the marriage proposal she was hoping for from her boyfriend, she is unceremoniously dumped, and her job is about to go the same way. So, there's only one option: to go back home to the village she grew up in and to try to start again.
     
    Her best friend Jemma is delighted Lizzie has come back home as she has just bought a little cafe and Lizzie's sewing skills are just what she needs to help get it ready for the grand opening.

    With a new venture and a new home, things are looking much brighter for Lizzie. But can she get over her broken heart, and will an old flame reignite a love from long ago...?
     
    For everyone who loves settling down to watch Great British Bake-Off, the Great British Sewing Bee, or curling up to read Milly Johnson or Jenny Colgan,The Cherry Tree Cafe is a coffee-break treat.
     
    'A heart-warming sweet treat of a read' Mandy Baggot

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      This story really made me want to pick up sewing. I know how to make hand sew the felt together but not using the sewing machine and also now I know what is bunting after I read this book. And would love to learn how to sew a tote bag too. For me this story is not much focus on the love life of Lizzie but more to in achieving her dreams. It is something more different than the sweet romance that I usually read which is nice. I love that people around her are always encouraging her though she is insecure of taking all these risks. Especially the love of her dad who was always supportive with in whatever she decides and even wants to help her to achieve her dreams.

      P.S. I also like the fact the six-year-old girl, Ella told Lizzie if she wants to be a teacher, she has to mind her language.

      A quick read that deals with a woman heartbroken heading home and rebuilding her life in her hometown. I enjoyed the setting up of the cafe and the craft element.
