Perfect read for a relaxing weekend , thoroughly enjoyed it . Makes me want to jump in a van and play this life differently .

I’ve read a handful of Rebecca Raisin books in the past and whilst she’s not one of my favourite authors I’ve found them enjoyable and so had a fair idea of what to expect. I was not disappointed, I whiled away a pleasant few hours reading this, it was easy to follow with no complicated characters or background stories and it did make me slightly wistful for van life. My favourite character was Aria and I would love to have known more of her story, maybe she might even justify her own book in time!

“Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop” by Rebecca Raisin is a lovely, light read. When you have just discovered that you have a husband who is a cheat, what a wonderful way to start life over by going travelling in a camper-van. I thought it was great that Rosie made herself some new friends along the way, as well as earning some money at music and food festivals.

I delighted in this quirky, fun story. There were many laugh-out-loud moments and it was wonderful getting to meet all of the characters, although I did not particularly have a favourite.

I especially loved the idea of owning a pink camper-van like Rosie’s, and a fuchsia pink one at that - so unique and off-the-wall. Also worth a mention are some of the references to delicious culinary delights such as the spotted dick, and the Turkish delight butter-cream cupcakes or some of the more suspect ones like the wheat-grass smoothie or the Dijon tofu.

This fantastic book has left me keen to go touring and travelling and I strongly recommend giving this wonderfully uplifting romantic story a whirl!

{Thank you to #NetGalley and HQ Digital for the free copy of #RosiesTravellingTeaShop and for giving me the opportunity to provide an honest review.}

I received this book "Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop" from NetGalley and all opinions expressed are my own. This is a fun quirky book. I enjoyed reading this. I found myself smiling and smirking at the storyline. What a fun book! Loved the adventures. I wanted the story to continue a bit more though.

When something happens out of the blue turning upside down your steady life, don’t cry, don,t blame yourself and read the new novel of Rebecca Raisin “Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop” . You will be aware that you could be brave and strong as much as you propose although you think it is not possible.

A good example of it is our heroine Rosie who left your successful job as a prestigious chef , so as to put ahead of the wheel of her new pink caravan Poppy. When her husband dumps her the day of her 32 birthday, she notices her life has to turn 180 degrees. Therefore, she gets out of her most modern kitchen to run her own travelling Tea Shop (Poppy) and travel around the country selling the best tea you have ever tasted.

This is an uplifting story that will help you to ease your own worries while you enjoy with this totally heartwarming reading.

I received this ebook through netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion. This is my first time reading a romance or romantic comedy book. I absolutely loved it! It was a fun, delightful lighthearted read. I enjoyed the characters and just going on a journey while I read this book. I would highly recommend. Thank you for allowing me to read this book.

This was a light, humorous and uplifting read that I really enjoyed!
Rosie is a funny, loveable character with all her quirks and I loved how she not only coped with the shocking changes in her life but grew with them.
From being a busy sous chef in a Michelin starred restaurant in London, who lives a life planned to the extent that even dates of arrival of future children have been decided, Rosie becomes a 'Van Lifer'when betrayed by her husband.
Traveling and cooking comfort food and never staying in one place for long goes against every principle of her previous life where she craved order, to do lists and the comfort of stability and rock solid plans.
Helped by her new friends who are also travelers, she sees the beauty of being spontaneous and enjoying life without worrying about much more than the next day.
Making friends and one very special friend opens her up to the possibility of taking a chance again to fulfill her dreams of a family and love.
It was a kind of fairytale in a modern setting for me. I loved the positivity and also the completely exotic lifestyle of the travelers. If life throws you a curve ball, what better than to shake it up completely and do something you would never have dreamt of before?
There is humour, emotion and delicious food as well.
A totally enjoyable read!
I will definitely look for more books by the author.

I was fascinated by the whole concept of the Van Livers, it sounds quite appealing. At least when you're single and have a job or hobby that lets you earn some money while travelling. It also surprised me how many festivals there are in the UK, it's really one after the other. Unfortunately they don't play a role at all in the book. Rosie only talks about setting up the van at this or that festival now, but that's it. I think there could have been a lot more atmosphere created by elaborating a bit on those. But at least Rebecca Raisin captured the daily life of the ppl in the campers very well, although it is probably very romanticised. I guess in reality it is not so easy to get all necessary permits, have everything so organised like Rosie, produce culinary specials in such a tiny kitchen, get all those customers without doing any marketing or find a best friend the minute you join the camper movement.

Rosie's story is sweat-natured, even though some Things here are also too unrealistic. She was a Chef with a Michelin-star, and has been in the business for many years, but after all this time her salary allowed her to save only a couple of thousand so far? Max has been in the US army for 10 years, yet he repeatedly calls himself a pacifist? And this catfishing business was also quite surprising and the reasons for that not really comprehensible for me.

But it is a nice comfort read, and the idea with the book-themed tea varieties is great!

I loved this book! I want a traveling tea shop too! Such a fun, quirky, sweet story. One of my favorite reads this year!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

I loved this book!!! Great story with wonderful characters and a very cute book cover. I actually yelled Noooooo in my head when I flipped the page and the book was over. It needs to be a series. I could definitely read more books about the traveling adventures of Rosie, Aria and Max. This was a great twist on the tea shop/bookstore books. There's still tea, cakes, food and books but they travel. You should never drink and shop because a bright pink camper van with the moniker Poppy might show up on your doorstep. The book had all the right touches. I loved Rosie. Although, she was a little dramatic at times. She went into hysterics with the thought of having to sleep in the woods in a broken down Poppy and being attacked by a pack of wolves or possibly vampires. Max had me at Jason Momoa. He was just so perfect. Pretty much anyone would have been better than Callum. Seriously, on your wife's birthday???!!! Aria made a great friend and I wouldn't mind getting to know her more. Loved when Rosie shouted after Max asking him if he wanted some spotted dick. Of course it made me giggle. Now I want to climb a mountain and meet a mountain pony.

Definitely recommend the book. It was a fun read, full of humor, great friendships, a little bit of romance and of course tea and books. Can't wait to read more books by the author.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from HQ Digital through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Lovely book, such a cosy read that has left me wanting to go off travelling and exploring!
Really loved the characters and in all honesty I've been left with a bit of a book hangover.

Sometimes you need some light and easy reading material for lifting mood, and this is one of those books. I enjoyed reading from the start till the end.
It is a Rosie's story about finding herself while she is on a journey around UK in her campervan that she bought while she was drunk after she was left by her cheating husband.
Just perfect book that keeps your attention. I'm looking forward of reading Rebecca Raisin other books

Cosy? CHECK.
Gigglefest? CHECK.
A book perfect for snuggling up with and forgetting the world? CHECK.

Oh what a snuggly, humorous, light-hearted read this is! Rosie's life she once knew is now no more thanks to her husband dipping his fondue stick into another chefs fondue. With an uncertain future ahead of her, the world is now Rosie's oyster and, along with help from her new pal, Poppy, Rosie can start believing that life won't be too bad after all.

I really enjoyed following Rosie's journey from Michelin starred to tea connoisseur. Watching her confidence grow as the storyline progressed was such a joy, even if i did find some of the storyline to be a little unnecessarily padded at times. Even though this story is a heartfelt and light read, there is theme covered throughout the book which has a more of a serious element to it. To be honest, I'm still not too sure on whether it fits in with the overall vibe of the book or whether it was needed, but that aside, the rest of the book was absolutely spot on. Rosie's friendships with Aria and Max were brilliant and had me in hysterics. Such a wonderful balance of colourful characters - they were an absolute pleasure to get to know.

'Rosie's Travelling Teashop' is the creme de la creme when it comes to confidence building and thought-provoking reads. If you're stuck at the crossroads yourself, you might find yourself purchasing a pal like Poppy and embarking on a new journey.

A fun, touching novel which proves that true friendships really exist. Another belter from Rebecca Raisin.

A heart-warming, funny novel about relationships, love, friendship, and new adventures and a pink campervan named Poppy!
Rosie, a Michelin-Starred Sous Chef, married to Callum believes her life is in order and she’s on schedule with plans for children in January 2021. That is until the early hours of her 32nd birthday when she’s tired from a long shift at the restaurant her husband says he wants a chat and Rosie’s well-ordered life comes tumbling down around her. Callum has been having an affair and has packed his bags and is leaving her. Rosie drowns her sorrows with a few glasses of wine and having been told by Callum that she is, “not spontaneous enough”; Rosie makes a huge drunken decision and invests in a campervan, a bright pink one. Rosie decides to go travelling in her new purchase, and calling the campervan Poppy decides to head off on a new adventure, turning ‘Poppy’ into a travelling teashop.
A lovely light read, heart-warming with laugh-out-loud moments. Great characters especially the lovely Rosie who I instantly identified with ensured I was hooked from page one. I was rooting for Rosie and enjoyed reading about her adventures with her travelling pink teashop, campervan Poppy. A wonderful weekend read, which allows you to escape into Rosie’s world. I look forward to reading other Rebecca Raisin’s books in the future.

Great quick, cute, fun read. I found myself being like Rosie, so I could easily relate. I love the fun adventure she had. Definitely recommend.

Enjoyable read. Slightly different read and pace to rebeccas other books.
Bit of a blunt ending. Guess left open for another stroy if that is wherr Rebecca wants to go.
Sweet easy read.

I had such a great time reading this book. It made think that yeah we sometimes lose our perspective and overlook what's really important. Enjoy the small things while you still can.

What an infectious book this was....I smiled from start to finish with sheer joy. Oh to be brave and pack my life into a little pink bubble of hope (called Poppy) and travel the country feeding the masses tea and cake.

I loved everything about this book. The writing was open and warm with a side order of humour. The characters were a joy to behold and lifted the story to create something extremely special. Rosie is now listed in my top character category with her OCD and penchant to plan. I absolutely loved her and she made the story glow. Aria was the perfect side kick with a love of happy endings and a heartbreaking and precious back story to match. Her messy abode would be akin to my way of traveling, with books in every nook and candles lit on just the right side of caution, to make me love her even more. But what's a story without a swoon worthy demi-god? A half story I feel....so let me introduce you to Max - a vegan pacifist with a body to die for. He gave me all the feels and was the perfect leading man.

Rosie and her traveling tea shop is a story that can't be missed. It's a dream of a book that I couldn't put down. So pull up a comfy chair.....pop the kettle on and dive into this heart lifting book, you won't be disappointed.

When Rosie is dumped on her birthday by her cheating husband she hits the wine bottle and on a drunken impulse buys bright pink camper van! Up until this point her life has been totally mapped out with a great job in a Michelin starred restaurant, children expected in a couple of years and a faithful husband! With everything in tatters she sets off in her camper van, that she had called Poppy, and follows the festival trail......... how out of her comfort zone can she be!

A lovely feelgood book, Rosie is a great character who grows with her adventure and the many colourful friends she makes on the way, especially Max.

The story had potential, but was unrealistic and lacking in character development. I would have liked to read more detail about Rosie's travels and less romantic cliches.
