It was a very easy and chill book to read. Very cute and makes me really want to do something like this myself. It really reads so easily so it was perfect for my holiday.

Actual Rating: 4 stars

What a lovely story! I don't recall reading a book by Rebecca Raisin but that will certainly change once she releases more books. I really enjoyed this one. The author incorporated delicious desserts and teas while showing us that sometimes change isn't a bad thing. I think any reader who is in need of a pick me up should check out Rosie's Traveling Tea Shop. It's an eye opening novel and filled with some amazing character growth and experiences. I certainly wouldn't mind traveling with Rosie and learning a thing or two from her along the way.

In the story readers will meet Rosie who is in the process of divorcing her cheating husband. When he calls her a cold fish and a person who fights change and excitement she decides it's time to pack her bags and head out on the open road. During her journey she finds love in the one thing that has always been dear to her- cooking and baking- and sharing it with others. She also finds herself unexpectedly opening up to a world of possibilities she never could have imagined! Readers, follow Rosie on her delightful journey. You will smile, laugh, and even cry with the characters!

My mom recommended this book to me since I love tea, books, and pastries. That is about all I liked about this book. She said was a laid-back, cute, easy read and I suppose it was those things. Perhaps I’m not the target audience for mediocrely-written, uneventful, cliche, “feel-good” novels. This was also poorly edited.

I don't know, I just didn't like it. It's totally fine, I didn't hate it, but it didn't do it for me. I never really felt invested in Rosie's life and I didn't like the romantic aspects of it that much. Don't even get me started on the super rushed ending. 

Rosie has her life together until one day her husband tells her, on her 32nd birthday, that she’s just not spontaneous enough and is leaving her. Rosie then drinks too much wine and spontaneously buys a pink camper van as she has always wanted to be a tea merchant; that will show her ex-husband! Rosie then quits her job and joins van life, travelling the country and meeting like minded individuals selling tea and cake from Poppy her van. Surely nothing will go wrong right? ✨ I adored this book. It was such a cute and cosy read, you know those books that you read and they make you feel all warm inside? This book gives you those feels! I loved Rosie and the other characters, and I’m so glad she got her happy ending. I cannot wait to get my hands on ‘Aria’s travelling book shop!’ 5
