Stella’s cafe never sleeps, it’s a venue for the lost and lonely, the early starters, the late finishers and the night owls, everyone is welcome, it’s a place where life can be put on hold at the door. The colourful London cafe is full of interesting characters, many of whom put on a good show of hiding their problems, as many people do, and using the cafe as a haven.
Running the café are Hannah and Mona, best friends, waitresses and dreamers, their small kindnesses make a difference to the lives that they briefly intertwine with, but they long for the chance to leave the café and follow their dreams. Hannah is a wannabe singer and Mona is a dancer.
I enjoyed the book and liked reading about the customer’s stories. I had to keep turning the pages to find out more about them.

A cafe is a good setting for interesting and diverse characters.

DeleteAlways nice to read a page turner!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't wait to see what was going to happen!
DeleteSounds good. I'm reading Wally Lamb's latest novel -- River Is Waiting. It's a hard read because it's so sad, but he always manages to conclude with something uplifting.
ReplyDeleteLove,

I've looked it up on Goodreads, it sounds good.
DeleteThat does sound like a fun book. Speaking of cafes our cafe sells a book for five smackers with a purchase at the cafe (which we regularly do anyway). So I picked up the latest Christmas Mystery. Haven't started it yet. Books rock! And so do cafes!
ReplyDeleteI love books, bookshops and cafes. A lady from my book group recently moved and her local cafe sells books wrapped up for £5. If its one you've already read they will let you choose another one.
