Books, life, inspiration…. and my PMDD

An InspiredbyPMDD BlogTour Review for #BATC – New Beginnings at the Cosy Cat Cafe by Julie Haworth

Love, love, loved Cosy Cat Café. I fell into the story with ease, it’s enjoyable, flows at a great pace and I give it 5 stars. We follow Tori’s journey after a year abroad, dumped and downtrodden she returns home to the safety of her mum Joyce’s home and café.

Keen to help her daughter live her dreams, whatever they may be, you can see the love between then rise from the pages. Throw in her beloved cat Ernie the ginger Maine Coon and her best friend Rose and Tori is on the road to recovery. Sworn off men and wondering where her future might lead her.

‘Sometimes the worst we go through, is the best thing that could have happened to us, we just don’t know it yet.’

We meet Grace the vet, Leo who helps rescue a cat and a number of others, including Vicious Violet and some jealous friends, influencers, rescue kittens etc.

‘Suddenly the idea of turning the Café into The Cosy Cat Café was born’. Recommended!

New Beginnings at The Cosy Cat Café tells the story of Tori who, after being dumped and left stranded by her long-term boyfriend Ryan on a trip of a lifetime to Asia, returns home to the sleepy Sussex village of Blossom Heath with her tail between her legs and her dreams shattered. Donning her frilly apron to help her Mum, Joyce, behind the counter at The Cosy Cup Café, Tori starts to believe – with the help of a hunky fireman and a clowder of rescue cats – that perhaps the secret to her future happiness might lie closer to home than she ever thought possible.
