Anya, her mother and sister Kazia have moved from their home in Poland to Liverpool, England. Her father had moved there three years before to help start a business give his family a better life. Anya finds it difficult in school. She is afraid to speak because her English is not real good. She is drawn to the school's bad boy Dan. Through her relationship with Dan she learns that things are not always what they seem. Her mom helps out Dan's mother in her shop and makes a new friend. Because of the kindness shown to Dan's mother, it seems that one miracle after another is answered. This is definitely a feel good story. In real life things don't always have a happily everafter ending. The ending of this story was not unbelievable. There were still problems that no one could solve and that is what made it realistic. I loved the book. This is the first time I had read anything by this author but I am sure I will be reading more. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

This book is most likely my favourite book, the pick-me-up I always read to improve my mood, the book that I relate a lot too, the one that has seen me through a lot. I've read this one so many times, but I still keep going back for more!
I've only read three of Cathy Cassidy's books, Dizzy and Driftwood are the other two, but this one's my favourite. This was most likely the first romance oriented book I read, and I still love it. I might actually have read this book near to 10 times, bu this is the first time I've read it with a Goodreads account.
The main reason, probably, that I love this book so much is that it deals with moving to a new place where you know near to no one. You hate it at first, wanting to go back, missing your friends, your school, the place, the air, the weather, the old accents, etc., etc. My family moves every 4-5 years, so even though I only remember moving and missing a place 3 times, it was enough to make me fall in love with this.
The way almost no one talks to you on the first day, the way their talking is different, even though you're speaking the same language; the way you don't make friends like the ones you had, but they're good friends nonetheless; the way your old friends miss you, but somehow never as much as you miss them; the way you miss your old house, the way you lived, the freedom you had, the things you did, all that and so much more is depicted in this book, and I loved it for that.
Though I've never moved to a place that's as drastically different from where I lived before as in this book, and thankfully never had to face the financial problems the characters face in this, I've still related to it.
The romance is one of the main points of this novel, and I'm reasonably sure this book's what made me fall in love with the romance genre. But more than that, I love the friendship aspect, the way Anya doesn't really like Frankie and Kurt, and feels like she's settling for the best she'll ever get, but then realises these are the best friends she could have ever gotten. I've found, in my experiences with new places.....it's usually the ones that hang on the outside that you should make friends with....those are the best people you'll ever find.
One of the other aspects of this book I like: the bakery, and the cooking, and the cakes, and the muffins, and the milkshakes, and, just, in general, the sweet goodies that I love and now want to eat! (seriously, my stomach is grumbling just from writing the names)
I loved it, once again, and I recommend it to anyone who likes sweet romance, books that deal with new places, and likes cake! ( )
