Reading a Jenny Colgan book always fills me with contentment. I know the story will draw me in and the dialogue will be both funny and serious and I will love the characters. I just know it. And, I was not wrong this time either.

In THE ENDLESS BEACH are we back on the Scottish Island of Mure and once again we meet Flora MacKenzie who left her prestigious job in London to open a café on the island in the previous book THE CAFÉ BY THE SEA. This book picks up where we left the characters. Flora and her ex-boss Joel are now together. But, if Flora thinks that everything will fall into place because of that she is surely wrong. Joel's background, growing up as an orphan living in foster homes has made him tough and hard to reach. It's not easy seeing her own brother having an easier relationship when Flora's own is on the breaking point more or less.

I could go on and on about what is going on in this book, but that would spoil too much and I think that you should just pick up this book (and the first if you have not read it) and find out for yourself. One thing I want to say about this book is that it's way more serious than the other books I have read by Colgan. Not that the other books are all fluffy and without serious moment. This one, well we have Flora's own situations, but there are several other deeply moving moments concerning both her family members and friends. THE ENDLESS BEACH is a book that will move you deeply. And, I hope that there will be at least one more book in this series.
