I seem to be on a roll for books that I’m loving. Second Chances at the Board Game Cafe was so lovely and cute, from beginning to end. All the characters were brilliant and the author highlights how even the most unusual and let’s face it, what a lot of people would consider boring, hobbies, can be fun and engaging if you find like-minded people to enjoy them with. Harry is brilliant, he loves trains and board games and dull coloured clothes, but when he meets the right people, he is far from boring. Taylor has had some difficult times in her life but always has the best interests of her son at heart and picks herself up, time after time. Her son loves trains and board games too, so when the three of them find each other, it’s a proper little meet-cute.
I love the idea of a cafe where you can go and meet other people who enjoy the same things as you, and while away a few hours. As I was writing this review I googled whether board game cafes were an actual thing, and guess what? They actually are. There is even one about half an hour from me. I’ll probably never go. Nevertheless, I love the idea.
If you like cute, funny, romance-type books, grab a copy of Jennifer's new book. It’s the third in the series, but I didn’t know this and it really doesn’t matter if you haven’t read the others.
Thank you to Aria and Rachel’s Random Resources for the opportunity to read and review Second Chances at the Board Game Cafe by Jennifer Page.
