A Wedding at the Little Bookshop by the Sea

About the Book:
Booksellers Florrie Appleton and her fiancé Ed are just three weeks away from their dream wedding. Between hand-selling beloved classics, unveiling Ed’s enchanting window displays and hosting lively book readings with local authors, they’ve managed to plan an intimate ceremony that promises to be everything they’ve ever hoped for – filled with literary delights, lots of laughter and the love of those closest to them.
But when Ed's mother Dawn arrives unannounced on their doorstep, Florrie's world is thrown into chaos like confetti. Dawn claims she's come to help with the wedding preparations, yet she's never shown the slightest interest in her son before. As she starts dismissing their carefully curated shelves and snooping around their cosy cottage, Florrie can't shake the feeling that Dawn’s plans stretch far beyond simply choosing flowers and cake.
With her close-knit group of friends rallying around her and the bookshop's loyal customers offering support, can Florrie protect her relationship and the bookshop that means everything to them both? Or will their happily ever after slip through their fingers like pages torn from one of her treasured books?
My Review:
Florrie and Ed are excited to marry in a few short weeks. Small wedding, close friends, low stress, and complete organization. That is, until Ed's mother Dawn pops into town to "help" with the planning. Really all she does is cause chaos, and between her rudeness and sneaky behavior, Flossie can't but question Dawn's motives.
I love that during these trying times, Florrie's friends are there to lift her up and the bookshop customers provide their support. Florrie and Ed have a solid relationship but some mothers and mothers-in-law have a way of starting drama. Having emotional support and backup from those outside of the situation assist in keeping things runny smoothly. Florrie and Ed deserve their happily ever after.
The author created wonderful and likable characters. The continued world building brings Micklewick Bay to life. Vivid imagery, flowing conversations, introductions of new characters, and strong relationships really bring this story to life. I was kept engaged in A Wedding at the Little Bookshop by the Sea by the strength of the Florrie and Ed, the romance, and the storyline.

Eliza J Scott lives in North Yorkshire with her family and has wanted to be a writer as far back as she can remember. She is inspired by her beautiful surroundings and loves to write heartwarming stories based on romance and friendship with a generous dollop of community spirit and a hint of humour.
When she’s not writing, Eliza can usually be found with her nose in a book or working in her garden doing a spot of plot wrangling (of the writing variety), and battling against the weeds. The weeds, unfortunately, are currently winning but Eliza is undeterred. Roses are amongst her favourite flowers and she doesn’t need much of an excuse to visit a plant centre, where a new rose always seems to mysteriously find its way onto her trolley much to her husband’s astonishment.
Eliza also enjoys having a catch-up with friends over tea and cake, as well as bracing walks in the countryside, rounded off by a visit to a teashop – for yet more tea and cake!
