Entertaining and fun!!!
Easy, fun read. I thought it was a bit slow to start. About a third of the way through, I was all in and couldn't stop reading it!

Sweet Story, Fun Read
I don't normally read romance novels, but I liked the premise of this book as it sounded adventurous - main character begins a new life traveling and living in a newly purchased van called "Poppy". A former chef, Rosie plans to bake and sell sweets at fairs and festivals , traveling the circuit with other van lifers. Along the way she makes good friends, learns what life is like living in a van on the road and deals with the sorrow of her failed marriage and learning to trust again. It was fun to read about her baking experiences but even though this is fiction, it was hard to imagine she could produce the variety, complexity and amount of treats in a tiny van kitchen. As an RVer living in a small space too, ovens are half the size of normal and refrigerators can store little. Yet she bakes fancy tortes, cupcakes and cream desserts to sell to crowds. Then there is the need for water, sewer and electric hookups at each place the van lifers travel too. Electricity hookup is mentioned briefly, but nothing about the rest or how these sites are paid for. The van lifers seem to make ends meet a little too easily. In my opinion, the book also needed better editing, with grammar, sentence structure issues, etc. Sometimes I realized unusual spelling was because the author is British, therefore words have a different spelling than American English. All this aside, I found myself enjoying this book and interested to find out what happened to Rosie as she dealt with possible new romances and her life changing situations. Likeable characters helped the story along as well. Probably will not read another book from this author, but a nice change of pace from the usual genres I read.

An Awesome Book!!!!!
I loved reading Rosie’s Traveling Tea Shop. All about Rosie a Sous-Chef at a popular restaurant and a wife for eight years & Callum a Restaurant kitchen worker @ a popular bar and husband of eight years. Callum waited till I came home at 2am to inform me we don’t work, he does not love me and he wants the house after the divorce. I quit my job, packed my stuff, bought a food truck and went on the road. As a Tea Shop nomad. I met Aria at the camp ground. She introduced me to other nomads, and we talked about the circuit. Aria has a bookshop on wheels. We decide to team up and travel together and use each other’s wares to help each other’s business rock off on the other. For example pairing book collections with different tea blends. Read this book and experience nomad food/wares and many different experiences!!! This book will invoke many different emotions and inspire the nomad lifestyle.

A Wonderful Vacation of a Book
"I've been so caught up in what might happen, that I haven't thought about what might not happen -- and that's seeing the world in all its glory, the hidden lakes, the magic trees, the rocky paths no one has wandered down for decades, hearing a birdsong symphony just for one, watching the majesty of sunrise and discerning each hue of orange without rushing to the next thing.It's about appreciating the moment." -- Rosie, Rosie's Traveling Tea ShopWhat a wonderful, laid-back vacation of a book. I was unfamiliar with life on the road, about the lifestyle(s) of those vendors who travel from one roadshow and/or festival to the next for a living. And what a way to learn some about it -- in a picturesque area of England.Rosie, former chef, has struck out on the road, taking us with her. She grows throughout the book. At first, she is heartbroken, uncertain, scared. By the end of the book, she is confident, happy, and much more self-aware.The book has a little something for everyone -- beautiful scenery, friendship, romance, literary tea blends, books, and more. What's not to love?Highly recommended.

fun read
Rosie & Max are intriguing - surprise outcome - traveling sounds like fun although it’s hard to imagine the amount of baking she can create in a van,,,

Loved this
This is the best book I have read for a while and it really drew me in. The story was great and made me wish that I was brave enough to do what Rosie did. Loved all the Characters, what a great group of people apart from one or two, I wont give the game away. I was sad when it came to an end. When I finish a book I usually start another one straight away as in finish one book in the evening and pick up another the same evening but after reading this I didn't want to start a new book, I think book lovers will understand what I mean.

Joy to read
This is the second book written by Rebecca that I have read and I loved it. Straight into the story and the characters are all very clear and different. Some unusual twists to the storyline which add to it all. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants an interesting, joyous, uplifting and funny read.
