Review: The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop and Cafe by Mary Simses

Author: Mary Simses
Genre: Women's fiction
Pages: 344
Published: 2013

This is the debut novel by author, Mary Simses, who apparently is good friends with James Patterson, whom she refers to as Jim, in her acknowledgements. He also wrote a blurb for her front cover. With some mighty big shoes to fill, this book did not disappoint. Ellen Branford, a big city Manhattan girl, is engaged to Hayden Croft who comes from a very important political family. To grant her grandmother's dying wish, Ellen has to travel to the small town of Beacon, Maine, to deliver a letter her grandmother has written. While there, her entire life is turned upside and down and she must make some difficult decisions regarding her future. 
 
I just love anything written in a small town setting - there are always such interesting and quirky characters. I would highly recommend this one, especially if you are a fan of Fannie Flagg's books.
