Meet Me in Cockleberry Bay
A somewhat simple storyline representing everything you need
to create a good book, by also delivering an effective message.
I didn’t realise this book was a sequel, until looking at
the final page where it mentions the Cockleberry series. The story jumped
straight into the plot, making the viewer interested from the very start. I
didn’t have to read the first book to understand each characters’ intentions
and past, due to them being told in the sequel.
After opening a pet shop, getting married, and helping with
her friend’s birth, Rosa is living a life she never had before. Love was on her
side, but she struggled to trust the people she befriended and fell in love
with. After finding out her partner, Josh, was talking with another woman, Rosa
felt jealous and thought about the worst possibilities leading her into a rabbit
hole of misfortunes. Would she be able to trust her husband, or is their
marriage turning into a divorce?
The characters were diverse, and all felt important to the
main character's story, no matter if it’s negative. I enjoy reading about Rosa
as a whole from her loss and determination to assist her in a battle of trust
and love, something she just recently found after being brought up in foster
care. Also, Rosa’s partner, Josh was brilliantly written, not letting go of his
love for Rosa, and caring for her to become her best self. Everyone is part of
a team in the small town and wants Rosa to be her best self.
The plot had a simple drama plan, although, it was effective.
If it works, then it works. A story that the reader can understand without
anything too complicated, which a lot of books may fall under. I could recognise
every intention, making me want to keep reading.
Meet Me in Cockleberry Bay made me research the author and all the other books in the series, wanting me to keep reading the story.
