'So beautifully written, an utterly comforting, feel-good romance novel for 2021, Polly Babbington’s stories are simply magical escapism and a joy to read.' Sarah Johnson. Lulu Drinkwater is living the dream in Pretty Beach - a huge old mansion by the sea, a fabulous job at the local hotel, and a very nice man to snuggle up with on the sofa on Saturday nights to the sound of the waves crashing outside. As Lulu settles back into the sweet coastal town where she grew up she’s working every hour to make her new life a success and adoring living back by the sea. We follow along and delve back into her fabulous romance, watch the plans for her big day and cheer her on as luck comes her way and her business takes a splendid new turn. But not everything is quite as dreamlike as Lulu had led herself to believe and when a couple of things infringe on Lulu and Ollie’s plans there is a fly in the ointment Lulu hadn’t seen coming. Will Lulu get the utterly delightful English summer occasion she’s dreamt about or will life, for her, again turn on its head? 'The absolute queen of magical settings.
