My Thoughts
This is the final visit to the Starfish Cafe series but I hope that there will e the odd visit there within some new books set around the area. Family and friendship is central to the story as ever and adds a real feeling of warmth and emotion to the story. There are some difficult themes behind the story and you really feel for Hollie and Jake as events unfold. Nevertheless, there is always the feeling of hope and that better times will come.
Alongside Holly’s and Jake’s story, we are invited into Kerry’s life and see how she manages to juggle her demanding family with personal issues. She emerges as an independent and likeable character who has many vulnerable moments but who never loses sight of the importance of her children in her life. The Starfish Cafe with its feeling of community is always there in the background as a place to get strength and friendship. This has been a lovely series within the Whitsborough Bay family of novels and highlights courage and working for others through the inspiring Lifeboat Service.
In short : Family, friendship and community
