My comments:
I enjoyed reading this light romance with the entertaining twists in plot - a successful and well-known chef is left at the altar by her fiance, and she disappears from society by hiding out with her grandmother Bubbles, making ends meet by working at a local bakery. Sophie soon uses her baking skills to improve the bakery's failing business and meets a woman whom she gives advice to re wedding planning. Sophie soon becomes a wedding advisor online, incognito, and develops a whopping online business, with no one knowing her real identity. Romance comes into the picture later on, and a chance for Sophie to redeem her baking career.
Romance and foodie readers, this might be a book for you!
Thanks to the publisher for a review copy of Wedding Girl.
This sounds lovely. I like the grandmother/granddaughter relationship and I love the kind of books where people start over and find what makes them happy. It sounds like a great read for when I'm in the mood for something light.
