I really enjoyed the first Bookshop Girl and this one looks as though it will be just as much fun. I love that Paige just wants to share her love of books and reading with everyone else, but seems to get into a lot of trouble along the way. I have been to many literary festivals and am looking forward to seeing if I can identify whether the one at Skegton-On-Sea is based on any one in particular, and also to see if the diva Minnie is based on any authors I have met. It seems as though Life's A Beach is going to be as enjoyable and readable as Paige's first adventure.
