About this listen

The Seafront Tea Rooms is a peaceful hideaway, away from the bustle of the seaside, and in this quiet place a group of women find exactly what they've been searching for.

Charismatic journalist Charlotte is on a mission to scope out Britain's best tea rooms. She knows she's found something special in the Seafront Tea Rooms, but is it a secret she should share? Kathryn, a single mother whose only sanctuary is the Seafront, convinces Charlie to keep the place out of her article by agreeing to join her on her search.

Together with another regular, Seraphine, a culture-shocked French au pair with a passion for pastry making, they travel around the country discovering quaint hideaways and hidden gems. But what none of them expects is for their journey to surprise them with discoveries of a different kind....

Full of romance, tea and cake, The Seafront Tea Rooms is a heartwarming tale about the strength found in true friendship.

Very pleasant story liked the articles they were writing ideas. Wish the cafe was real would have loved to have gone there. Though at least I have had afternoon tea in both Betty's and Fortnum and Masons.

Loved it and a big fan of Scarborough

'The Seafront Tea Rooms' by Vanessa Greene.
Genre: Romance & Domestic fiction.

About The Book: Three women from different backgrounds and lifestyles come together via a traditional British Seaside. Charlie (Journalist) is completing an article on afternoon teas in the area and her two new friends support her by tasting a variety of delicious treats. This novel interlinks these three female's life and shows how friendship can have the power change lives.

My Review: This novel is beautifully written. A great balance of show and tell, and no over description. This is a lovely light read which will bring you plenty of smiles and will make you hungry for delicious cakes. Yet, it has realistic life events and shows awareness of some important topics such as bereavement.
The Scarborough seaside setting is wonderfully described. In addition, the main characters are very likeable and are multidimensional.

As well as the three main female characters, the author discussed several other characters in depth. I found this confusing at times and I would have preferred more focus on the three main characters.

Triggers - Loss of a parent.

This is a lovely light read and I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys similar genres.
