Mary Simses show an extraordinary talent in her first novel, The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop & Cafe. I rank her right up there with two of my favorite authors of this genre, Sarah Jio and Patti Callahan Henry. Mary tells a believable story, set in beautiful surroundings, and brings to life very interesting people. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to see what Mary Simses does next!I had a rule that I would only give one star reviews to books that I couldn't finish, but I'm giving one here to a book I did finish because I hated it more and more as I read it (actually, I probably just skimmed the last two chapters, so "finishing" is open to interpretation). First, the title and cover photo are totally misleading (I know, I know, don't judge a book), this is not a charming "School of Essential Ingredients" book about cooking; rather, the main character seems to have an
The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop and Café is just that -- irresistible.The story pulls you in and you dont want to leave. Narrator Erin Bennett does an excellent job bringing the characters to life. Her cadence and mannerisms add to this delightful tale. Her vocalization enhances the authors words and her expressions of the emotions adds to the characters depth.The story begins on a sad note with the death of Ellen Branfords beloved grandmother. Just before she died, she asked Ellen to
I really wanted to like this book. I did. I bought it new because it came up on Goodreads as a featured book and the premise seemed okay. I was going to be in Maine on vacation, and so I thought it would be a good foil for the Stephen King novel I was also bringing.Unfortunately, I was disappointed. It wasn't the author, or her ability to tell the story. I liked the descriptions of Maine. The problem was her protagonist. On page 320, the heroine says of herself, "What did that say about me? That
This is one of those books that you sit down with on a rainy afternoon with a blanket, cup of tea and, of course, a blueberry muffin. This is the book for every person who starts out on the path she thinks she should be on, gets caught up, yet daydreams about a simpler life. It is easy to see why this first time novelist is endorsed by the incomparable James Patterson. Ms. Simses prose is never stilted. The story has just the right amount of ups, downs, suspenseful moments, surprises and laugh
I was very excited to read this book based on the synopsis. I quickly realized that the main character is a shallow, snooty woman who is coming to this small town to fulfill her Grandmothers dying wish. She spends a majority of the book telling us the name brands of her clothes, complaining about cholesterol in the local food and just looking at everything from a view that is down her nose. It does get somewhat better through out the book, but by then, she is just so disliked by me as a reader
I brought Mary Simes' "The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop & Café" on vacation, expecting it to be a fast and interesting chicklit read for the plane ride and while lounging by the pool.The plot is predictable: Big city girl Ellen Branford returns to small town Maine to deliver a letter left to her by her dying grandmother. She almost drowns and is saved by a hunky local, and they kiss. But wait! Ellen is also engaged to a high-powered attorney with his eye on political office.Yet while the
