My Never Ending List

Just me and my shadow, that’s what I thought as I started to read Eliza Bluebell by A. J. York. This is a cute, short book that put me in a cheerful mood when I finished. With great flow, I loved the small town feeling this book had that put a jaunt in my step as I read. Eliza can never make friends as she is a traveler, so her best friend is her shadow. When she arrives in Blossom Brook, I was surprised when she inquires about a rundown building. There’s something mysterious about Eliz but that doesn’t bother anyone in this small town. She has drive and she’s charming the pants off the people in this town. The Blueberry Tearoom, the quaint shop finally opens, the townsfolk wander in and Eliza welcomes them. Oh, Eliza’s shadow is there to help out also. This small town loves this new attraction, the view is priceless, and the tea is heavenly and the delicate pastries and the gossip…most enjoyable. Owning the teashop has its benefits for everyone for she’s helping the town, lifting their spirits, aiding their needs with the help of her shadow who she sends off while she tends the shop. Wishes and desires are being done unbeknownst to the individuals. Pockets of love being performed throughout the town. Pouring out their problems to Eliza, the tearoom becomes quite popular, Eliza comforting with a slice of this and a cup of that. It’s charming and I could visualize this shop in a small town, the patron’s lives transforming. It’s Eliza, a remarkable lady and her shadow, leaving her mark wherever she goes.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
