Spring Tides at the Starfish Cafe

One of a series. Old and new characters face challenges and mild peril, but all comes right in the end. The café comes under threat when a local criminal tries to force Holly to sell. New character Tori, has terrible relationships with both her boyfriend and family. Her story is a mix of the current time, and memories of childhood and earlier adulthood, showing the difficult times that she had. Her parents are authors and neglected her in some ways, seemingly through being self-absorbed, resulting in her being lonely and friendless . Her only childhood friendships fail when she makes a mistake, and she isn't able to get past it. As the story starts Tory and 2 of her friends are paddle boarding and are rescued by the RNLI, including Holly and Jake  and they become friends. 

Easy read, quite entertaining, but not especially memorable.
