Even her own parents think she’s gone mad.Her new job at the cafe, and the hilarious people she meets there, give Laura the chance she needs to make new friends; to learn to be herself again, and – just possibly – to learn to love again as well.For her, the Comfort Food Cafe doesn’t just serve food – it serves a second chance to live her life to the full…What readers are saying about Summer at the Comfort Food Cafe:‘My new favourite author’ – Holly Martin, bestselling author of ‘Summer at Rose Island’'A lovely, emotion-filled, giggle-inducing story' – Sunday Times bestselling author Milly Johnson‘Heart-warming and optimistic, Summer at the Comfort Food Café is a genuinely gorgeous novel, a book of hope and solidarity, friendship and humour and the belief that everything might just turn out okay after all’ – Sophie, Reviewed the Book‘Everything I hoped it would be and more’ – Becca’s Books‘Fans of Paige Toon will enjoy this beautiful story’ – Erin’s Choice‘If this book had arms it would grab you and pull you in to the most amazing book ever…just magical’ – Lisa Talks About‘An engaging, entertaining and loveable book’ – Rae’s Reads‘I wish I could actually go there…an original story and it has such a romantic ending’ – With Love for Books
