The Vintage Teacup Club by Vanessa Greene

5.0

Three women and one teacup service is the start of a beautiful friendship in The Vintage Teacup Club. When Jenny Davis comes across a teacup service at a market she thinks she has finally found the service that she can use at her wedding themed vintage teacup party. However, two other women also want the service--Maggie and Alison--and the three women together come up with a solution to share the service while also hunting down more vintage teacups to use.

I know that this book was released in November 2013 but since I did not have a chance to open this book until 2014 I am still counting it as one of my favorite reads of 2014.

I think that the author Vanessa Greene managed to make write this novel very well with three distinct female characters and juggle their story-lines and not manage to make it feel overcrowded. That is a very hard thing to do I think and she manages to do so deftly without making it look hard at all. Usually when I read a novel with multiple characters I end up really loving one and just kind of ignoring the other ones I don't identify with at all. However, this time I really did identify with Jenny, Maggie, and Alison. All three women were so distinct and at different phases of their lives (about to be married, married for a long time, and divorced) so you could definitely see where they were coming from with their experiences. I also thought it was a very smart way to set up these women like female archetypes maiden, mother, and crone.

I would love to read a follow-up novel with these characters some day or at least a subsequent novel with all new characters with some sneak peeks at these three.

I would definitely recommend picking this up to read!
