I thought this was a quick, easy, enjoyable read. The POV changes quite often but not to the point that it gets in the way of the story. Its an interesting story, written in a way that keeps your attention and explores family and family history. And a blue typewriter.
The characters are likeable and well described.

This is a story about Lily, who moves with her 8 year old son, Frankie, to a small, northern coastal town called Marram Bay.
She moved to Apple Blossom cottage and plans to open up another deli in a chain of YumYum delis that she works for.
The move is a way for her to get away from the past, start afresh and give her little boy a better quality of life in the country, rather than being cooped up in London.
Lily’s move is a rollercoaster for her. She isn’t welcomed into the small town; the locals fearing that the deli will ruin business for the other livelihoods ran by the town’s natives.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s perfect holiday book material and made me laugh out loud and smile throughout. I liked the characters and felt like they were well developed.
I’d recommend this to anyone who wants a quick, easy, enjoyable read and for this who enjoy Jojo Moyes, Sophie Kinsella and Giovanna Fletcher.

What Kitty Did Next was such an enjoyable read for me. I loved getting to read about the Pride and Prejudice characters again. It felt like reading about old friends.
I enjoyed the exploration of Kitty’s character and got the sense that Kablean enjoyed writing this novel, which is always a good sign!
I’d recommend this to any of my Austen loving friends and for anyone that enjoys historical fiction and romance!
