About this listen

The blossom is out in the little Cornish harbour town of St Felix.

But Poppy Carmichael's spirits aren't lifted by the pretty West Country spring. Inheriting her grandmother's flower shop has forced her to return to Cornwall, a place that holds too many memories.

Poppy is determined to do her best for the sake of her adored grandmother, but she struggles with the responsibility of the more-shabby-than-chic shop. And with the added complication of Jake, the gruff but gorgeous local flower grower, Poppy is very tempted to run away....

The pretty little town has a few surprises in store for Poppy. With new friends to help her and romance blooming, it's time for Poppy to open her heart to St Felix and to the special magic of a little flower shop by the sea!

Let Ali McNamara, author of the much-loved From Notting Hill with Love...Actually, bring some sparkling sunshine into your life.

"If you've got a soft spot for director Richard Curtis' romcoms, then you'll happily devour this book in one sitting.... Utterly enjoyable." ( Stylist)

Beautifully written, I really felt for the characters and their development and I thought the floriography really benefitted the concepts. The only inconsistency was that Jake was sometimes called Jack. Irrespective, it was a very engaging and endearing story.

Wonderful story

I love this book and I love the story and how it’s written, but the narrator really frustrated me when she kept swapping between ‘Jake’ and ‘Jack’. Apart from that it’s an amazing story.

Really frustrating
