A heart-warming story about Charlie, who has inherited her uncles old Routemaster bus, Gertie, and decides to drive it down to Cornwall to spend some time with her friend while pondering what to do with it.
Along the way, Charlie meets two men, both very different, but both possible suitors. As she gets to know them better she realises which one is for her, but there are difficulties in then getting together.
I enjoyed meeting all the characters, good and bad. Usually I find the miscommunication trope is irritating, but this novel makes it into a valuable life lesson and I'm looking forward to reading more from the seaside town of Porthgolow.

Loved the concept so really looked forward to reading this. The MC was annoying and I found the many misunderstandings between her and the possible BF manufactured. And the last bit, the cliffhanger, ... really???

What a lovely story, great location, a little romance and lots of cake. What's not to love.
