It's time for a fresh start...
After a decade of building her career in the city, Beca is ready to escape the humdrum. When she sees her dream home for sale in her hometown, it starts to seem like fate.
But when she arrives and visits her grandparents' ice cream parlour, Beca is horrified to find out that the new owner, her ex-boyfriend Ed, has stripped the heart out of it. Determined to honour her family's legacy, Beca decides to follow in their footsteps and make delicious ice cream with the help of a long-forgotten recipe book and boat house.
As a fierce rivalry develops, Beca must rely on her oldest friend, Griff, to help her make the parlour a success.
But when disaster strikes, is Beca about to discover that true happiness has been right in front of her the whole time?

Story
The picture house by the sea is the Palace at Polwhipple - a lovely art deco cinema nestled in front of azure Cornish seas. But it is long past its heyday now, and its only saving grace is Ferrelli's, the family run ice-cream concession in the foyer, which is widely known as the best ice cream for miles. So when Ferdie, the owner of Ferelli's, breaks his leg, his granddaughter Gina drops everything to come and help out.

Feel good summer book
This is a true, feel good book to make you think of summer days. Very predictable, but in a good way. Good characters will make you smile. no groundbreaking plot here, but a good book to smile and escape to a small sea side town.
