I thoroughly enjoyed being back with Vera and watching her in action as she gathered more lonesome strangers into her midst. She has such a charming way of getting people to let their guard down and open up to her.

“Her customers were a pleasant crowd, some of them regulars, the rest of them newcomers who heard about her from social media, and all of them were curious and respectful and wanted her to serve them tea based off her intuition, which is exactly how tea should be served—hot with a side of judgy but also motherly advice from Vera.”

I wasn’t expecting the dark turn this took. but honestly I didn’t mind the conversation of a very real situation being introduced. The realistic nature was well balanced to the levity of this cast of characters. The found family trope will always pull on my heartstrings and I loved it once again here.

I cannot wait for book 3! Are we going international?! 😍
