About this listen
Disover MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Jessica Redland's feel-good series, Welcome to Whitsborough Bay.
Sometimes love can bloom where you least expect it…
For Sarah Peterson, it’s time for change. Coming out of a dead end relationship and having had enough of city life, she just needs to escape and have a fresh start – a new job, a new home and a new lifestyle.
So when her Auntie Kay unexpectedly offers her the opportunity to take over her flower shop, Seaside Blooms, the timing could not be more perfect. She could escape to the beautiful seaside town of Whitsborough Bay, start a new chapter in her life – and learn how to run a business!
But, as she packs up her life in London, she isn't prepared for the discovery of a clairvoyant reading that's been missing for twelve years. All of the predictions have come true, except one: she's about to meet the man of her dreams. Oh, and his name is Steven…
As she prepares for the biggest move of her life, Sarah can’t help but wonder if Seaside Blooms could be a new beginning for love too?
A novel of love, friendship and destiny from million-copy bestseller Jessica Redland.
New Beginnings at Seaside Blooms is an updated edition of a novel previously published as Searching For Steven.

A kid walks into your bookstore and says to you, Guess what? I'm your son. The one you put up for adoption seventeen years ago. The one you never told anyone about. Surprise! His name is Matthew Walker, and he's come to spend the summer on the Cape with his parents. Why? Well, he wants to meet you before he heads off to college in the fall. Tiny detail—he didn't tell his adoptive parents about his plan. And while you hoped this day would come someday, you're so stunned, you actually faint.

Janine Potter grew up on the other side of the tracks. Her mother, Nancy, struggled with just about everything—alcohol, men, money—and Janine made a pledge to herself that she would never be like her. At age nineteen, Janine met Jack Potter, the son of an oil tycoon, and never looked back. Her life became a series of cocktail parties and multi-million-dollar apartments all across the world, and rubbing elbows with celebrities. Slowly, memory of her mother faded, although the trauma never really did.

Shamed online and ostracised by everyone she knows, Edie's forced to take an extended sabbatical - ghostwriting an autobiography for hot new acting talent, Elliot Owen. Easy, right? Wrong.

Story
Sadie is a single mum, nursing a broken heart. Her best friend from childhood, Cat, is burned out from working long hours as a chef in Paris. In need of a change, they decide to invest in their dream - running their own handmade biscuit shop in gorgeous Castle Court, a three-storey food court tucked away behind Chester's bustling streets. They soon discover that Castle Court has its own community - a little haven of delight against the stresses of the outside world. But not everyone welcomes the new business.

Great listen, with a twist
If you like British novels/ love story this is a good listen. Interesting characters and rich in family history

Enjoyable Story
This isn’t quite Hallmarkish. It’s got a little more meat. Sure, it’s light, and there is a HEA, but the comedy is actually funny and not cliche. I can envision a Bridget Jones type production. With the right cast, and filmed in a picturesque seaside village, it just might grow legs. The narrator isn’t so bad, it’s just all of her character types sound like the same person. Not much variance.
Definitely fun!

Loved this and the surprise ending!
Loved this book, but there were times that I really thought the protagonist was being an idiot (but that was the point). In the end, the twist made the whole journey worth it!

Feeling sorry for yourself
Love the story but. Sara got on my nerves. Always feeling sorry for herself. Putting herself down. Not telling her feelings.

Bunch of great fluff
A cotton candy tale tied up with neat bows. I loved it in all its rom-com twists and turns.

They feel like true stories
I don't know what it is about Jessica's books but I love them all. They feel real. It's shows woman they can by telling stories of woman who lack the confidence. The narrator is great on all her books.

Good Story
I would have went up to the house when the woman came out, instead of just walking away.

Good story! HATE THE LEAD CHARACTER
She is so indecisive and head in the clouds! It is so annoying. The first book in this series was phenomenal. I have little patience for her “head in the clouds” persona. I admit to getting disgusted and skipping through some things! Oh and if I hear Steven one more time!!!! I kept having the urge to reach into my headphones and yell at her and say, “ Get you damn head out of the clouds and wake the hell up!” Uggghhh. And stop assuming Geesh!

Good story/Best read in order
This is the 6th book of Jessica Redlands that I have read/listened too. I enjoyed all 6 of them, but this one's character, Sarah is kind of an annoying twit and I'd like to have given her a good shake. Good story though, loved Nick. I liked the continuation of characters from one book to the next. Enjoyable.

Cute read for a winter trip
Super cute little story with a few twists and turns along the way. Great narrator and charming plot. I will be coming back to this one through the years I am sure.
