The is a wonderful feel-good romance about Sadie, a struggling teacher-in-training (what teacher hasn't felt like she does at some point?!?) who is unsure of her career, her relationships, and her life. When her grandfather passes on, leaving the family business also in question, Sadie does everything she can to keep it. She finds herself, her loves, her passions, and a breathtaking romance along the way. I'm a sucker for books like these and I devoured it in about 24 hours.

I want to start out by saying that you to Netgalley and Bookouture for the advance copy of The Waflle House on the Pier. I requested to read this romcom after being pulled in by the description and the gorgeous cover. This is the first book I've attempted to read by Tilly Tennant and I had high hopes from looking at past reviews. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get into this one, struggling to connect with Sadie. I wasn't a huge fan of her internal dialogue, as she's quite the complainer, and just wasn't being drawn in to the storyline. In the end, this ended up being a book I did not finish. Despite this, I'm looking forward to reading other pieces of work from this author, as I've heard great things.

Thank you to Netgalley for an early copy.
Another fabulous book from Tilly.
Read it in one sitting. The story of Sadie, a teacher whose not sure if she’s in the right job.
One day whilst back home, she sees an ambulance heading to her grandma and granddads place. In a minute her whole life changes.
After losing her grandad, she leaves her job. She’s back home and there’s talk of selling the business, she discusses taking it on with her friends, who aren’t that sold on the idea. She also sees her ex Dec and his girlfriend and he too is keen for it to be opened up again.
Sadie leaves her job and opens up the Waffle House. But, soon she notices things aren’t right with grandma, after incidents happen at the business.
After an accident at the beach, she meets Luke and explains to him how things are,
He offers to buy the place and she can run it but Sadie declines the offer.
After another incident, her family want her to stop opening the business so she puts a sign up to let customers know. Her grandma isn’t happy and opens up again, only for her family to ask her to announce that she doesn’t want to work with her grandma- causing her grandma to hate her.
One night, Dec after having been drinking after a split from his girlfriend attempts to walk on bars, he falls in the sea, Luke who sees this goes in after him only for Ewan to do the same and coastguards are called. Luckily nothing bad happens and they're all taken to hospital to be checked over.
At the fireworks party, Lucy arrives surprising Sadie. After introductions to Luke. Her family inform(her grandma is suffering from early signs of dementia) her that they’ve found a buyer for the business and then her grandma informs her that she’s signing over the business to Ewan, Lucy and Sadie who in turn say they’re signing their share over to Sadie. So she can do as she wants.
A very happy ending.
Recommend it.

This is only the second book I’ve read by this author but I have genuinely enjoyed both. There’s something warm and familiar about the writing style that you can just indulge in.
