Rate this book
The Cherry Blossom Park Series - the uplifting women's fiction series.

These three books are part of the same world, but are not a trilogy. You can read them in any order.

The Pink Coffee Shop, The Juggle and The Secrets of the Coffee Club are stories about love and friendship, which touch on the darker side of life but leave you uplifted and more prepared to face your own worlds. Cherry Blossom Park in Bristol is filled with characters you'll wish you lived near to yourself - well most of them. These books will make you laugh, cry and come away hopefully feeling like we're all in this together.

The Pink Coffee Shop

It’s only a list. So why does Rosie Nash's whole world fall apart when it suddenly disappears?

Rosie loves her job as a daytime television show runner. Every second counts in the land of live TV and that’s just looking after her colleagues… and their endless demands. Rosie doesn’t mind, she loves life on the go and being away from the spotlight suits her fine. Besides, can you imagine if anyone discovered who she really was? Exactly, neither can she.

It’s all okay because she has her very own haven, The Pink Coffee Shop, which she visits after every show. It’s run by her lifelong friends, Wanda and Millie. And it gives her just the sanctuary she needs. Plus, she has her list which she carries with her wherever she goes because… well, that’s for Rosie to know.

But life begins to unravel when Rosie loses her list and she finds herself forced into the limelight. Then, when she finds a strange man sitting in her seat at The Pink Coffee Shop, her well-ordered life is never the same again.

The Juggle

Is a marriage ever big enough for two dreams to come true? Molly and Dan are about to find out.

It was only a blip. Just a little mistake. But in the world of television, Dan Whitehead’s little
slip could cost him his career.
His only chance is to swap roles with his wife, Molly, who works part-time behind the scenes
at the show. It’s just for a few weeks. Easy. What’s so hard about looking after their twins
and taking a step away from the limelight for a bit? Only, it’s not quite as simple as Dan may
think. With more time, his past begins to haunt him. Then, when a friendly school-mum
makes him an offer he can’t refuse, is she everything she seems?
Meanwhile, Molly is more than happy in her hoodie and yoga leggings - not that she ever
does yoga. She’s more of a stay at home and listen to self-help kind of girl. Why would she
want to go back on-screen when she doesn’t even like leaving the house? But she needs to
save her husband’s job, after all, it is all her fault. Then, when she’s offered an exclusive
interview on the other side of the world, her life in Cherry Blossom Park is under threat.
Why is she the only person to ever be offered this interview? Dan must never know the
truth.
The Juggle is more than just a story about parents keeping everything in the air. It’s about
secrets from the past and hopes for the future.

The Secrets of the Coffee Club

Three women become friends and vow to start next chapters. But do the people around them really want them to change?

Audrey, Maggie and Gem are united in their general feelings of rubbish-ness. Life, they agree, cannot carry on as it is, so together they form The Coffee Club. They are there to help, encourage, support and laugh. Everything they’ve always wanted their friendships to be.
