The Little Teashop of Broken Hearts: A cute and funny baking matchmaking romcom for fans of The Pumpkin Spice Cafe! by Jennifer Joyce, Jennifer Joyce
4.0
This book is very charming and I really love all the characters. The main character is Maddie who about a year ago broke off her engagement. The book has flashback of Maddie at this time, so it goes to explain what happens in a gradual way. I really liked the flashbacks as it has shown how Maddie's priorities have shifted from her relationship and dead end jobs to owning her own (sort of failing) Tea shop. The side characters that surrounded Maddie are all very interesting and while the minor petty squabble between Nicky and Victoria was annoying as hell, I still really like the book and how they all connected with each other.
I also liked Maddie's budding relationship with Caleb, while it was a instant attraction the relationship was a bit of a slow burn. Maddie was great and I was able to relate to her (although she was much more easily embarrassed than I am) Her relationship with her parents was showcased as well and I loved her relationship with her dad (and an understanding of her lack of one with her mom) While much of the plot points were very predictable I loved it. The epilogue while a bit cheesy was great and I liked how it explained about how the characters lives went and how they all ended up happy. Sometimes we just need stories to have happy endings, and I'm glad this one did. Although Nicky's ending is still up in the air. Maybe a sequel?
