The story is centered around Polly, a woman in her thirties, who loses her job and her boyfriend. Her long-term boyfriend lost his business, so they bankrupted. He leaves her and goes back home to his mother, and Polly is left on her own, so she goes to the only place she can afford, Cornwall. Cornwall is such a different place. In that old cottage, Polly finds a friend, an injured puffin. Neil is not her pet, he is her only friend on the lonely nights. Not knowing what to do with herself, Polly starts to bake. She has always loved baking, but for her ex-boyfriend, it was just goofing around. Her fresh bread smells all around the cottage, so local fishermen soon become her friends. Especially Tarnie. Huckle also becomes a person close to her heart, but things with Chris, her ex, aren’t settled yet. Polly is new in the town, and the old lady who owns the local bakery isn’t happy with her baking for the fishermen. Polly has to find a way to win her heart and finally settle down and decide what she wants in life.

Polly is such an adorable character. She has a heart of gold and is always there to help. She is also very moral. I was so proud of her when she broke up the relationship as soon as she found out the guy was married.

The story for The Little Beach Street Bakery is so warm and sprinkled with flour and sugar. It’s not just a story about cooking, but also about being brave and taking things into your own hands again. It’s about making a life worth living. An enjoyable warm story that will melt your heart.
