If you like tea and pastries then this is the best book for you. It tells how a girl enjoys summer by hanging out with her friends and makes pastries and tea. I also like that it tells you how to make certain types of tea and scones.

This is a great book about friendship struggles, romance, and managing a small tea shop in Wisconsin. It has recipes for tea and scones,and has a great ship (zach and annie). I think that the quotes about tea included in each chapter are a nice addition and I also like the covers of this book and it's predecessor (the tea shop girls). In all, I think it's a great story that you should read even if you hate tea
I have read The Teashop Girls, the first book and I had no idea that their was another one. I am going to buy that at the bookstore. It looks absolutely amazing.
