Like a warm hug, Stella's Cafe draws you in and leaves you feeling that much lighter. (Jade Craddock)

Heartwarming and stirring, this is one you'll want to savour. 'READ OF THE WEEK'

A warmhearted read from the author of bestselling novel The Lido... Libby has a great gift for writing characters you really root for. (Joanne Finney)

Feel-good, examining the power of making connections and the unexpected paths life can lead you down.

The writing is lovely, as is the impression of the restless city and all the people it contains.

Captivating... Feelgood fiction at its best.

A feel-good and lovely read. It makes us want to step inside the cafe!

Gentle, sweet and bittersweet tales unfold with the ticking of the clock and the gurgle of the coffee machine.

A quirky tale of powerful friendships, flaws and fallouts. Get your tissues ready!

A feelgood novel par excellence.

A lovely read.

I loved this book. So interesting hearing about the lives of all the different characters that came and went to the cafe. Gripped me from beginning to end. Well narrated too. The ending was surprising and very emotional. Had me guessing the outcome right until the last minute!
