Can the bakery succeed in the face of such upheaval? And more importantly, can firm friendships survive?
My Review:
As I came to read A Bakery at
the Little Duck Pond Café I realised it was part of a series – this is book 5.
I was cautious that I would have perhaps missed too much but it’s written very
well as it could easily be a standalone. I do not feel like I’ve missed anything
and in fact, this book has just made me want to go and start at book 1!
Although Katja Skoroboganova
jokingly fills in a job application in the name of Kate Baker, she has no real
intention of applying but her Gran posts it in and Katja soon finds herself
going to an interview. Under the name Kate Baker, she impresses and gets the
job – soon moving to Sunnybrook in eagerness to start work at the bakery.
Unbeknownst to Katja, she is one of two new starters and they are competing for
the role. The other girl reminds Katja of someone in her past that bullied and
made her life hell.
I liked Katja straight away,
she has been through a lot, and it is understandable that she just wants to blend
in and become just a regular part of the community without them knowing her
background. She’s found something that may possibly make her truly happy and then she is hit with the realisation of Maddison.
Maddison is the kind of
character you will truly dislike, she does everything to wind Kate up or make
her look bad, but as you progress through the story you start to see little chinks in her
armour, you feel a sense of sadness and vulnerability that may just make you reconsider your
opinion of her – well slightly!
You’ve got cake, cuteness and
of course – romance, what more do you need? This is an uplifting, feel good read, very
well written with characters you will adore. I devoured it in one short sitting
and can’t wait to go back and catch up on all the fun and adventure I’ve missed
with the other books. I cannot wait to get to
Confetti at the Little Duck Pond Cafe!! Rosie Green has got a massive
new fan here.
