The Tanglewood Tea Shop: A laugh out loud romantic comedy of new starts and finding home | Lilac Mills
3 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
Patisserie-Chef Stevie is stuck in a rut. Her beloved Great Aunt Peggy has passed away, shes been fired from her job and the love of her life has walked out the door. But when shes called to the solicitors office to hear the reading of Peggys will, Stevies life begins to change. Left with a large amount of money, Stevie is determined to take Peggys advice and turn her life around. The quirky tea shop that she sees up for sale in the beautiful village of Tanglewood must be a sign, and Stevie cant wait to make it her new home. But what happens after your dreams come true? It turns out that life in the village isn't as idyllic as it may have seemed. With local mums waging war against sugar, a tea shop and its patisserie-chef owner are definitely not welcome. When the gorgeous but grouchy local stable-owner, Nick, shows up he seems like just another fly in the pastry batter but as the two grow closer, Stevie realises he might just be the perfect reason to stay and win over the village... This laugh-out-loud romantic comedy is perfect for fans of Daisy James, Holly Martin and Portia Macintosh.

Very Hallmark-y. Disappointed that the book was Stevie and Nick liking each other from afar, then admitting love, and then going on a date in the future. Lovable (Leanne, Betty) and hate-able characters (Stevie‘s mom and sisters, Allegra). Sweet that the town worked together for the flood and then worked together to deal with Allegra‘s bad review. Sweet what William did for Tia.
“She never forgot a bum, a face maybe, but not a bum.”

I wasn't able to connect to the characters in this rom-com and I'm not sure why. I usually like this type of book. It's just so-so for me.
