Book of The Month: The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay


'The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay'

by Nicola May

The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay is the perfect summer read. It's light hearted and has an engaging plot with lovable characters – but don't be mistaken, this book has substance. We follow twenty five year-old Rosa embarking on a journey of self discovery with the help of her best friend Josh and side kick dog – Hot; when out of nowhere she is left a corner shop in a small village called Cockleberry Bay, Devon.

Nicola has managed to perfectly capture what it's like to be someone in their twenties, making lead character Rosa incredibly easy to relate to, almost to a point where you feel as if you're reading your own story. With ups and downs along the way, Rosa's story is completely captivating, and you can't help but keep turning the page to see what she'll do next.
