Set in the fictional Sussex village of Blossom Heath, and featuring characters you will know and love from Julie Haworth’s RNA Katie Fforde Debut of the Year Always By Your Side and follow up New Beginnings at The Cosy Cat Café, Bea’s Book Wagon is a cosy, uplifting and comforting romance that tells the story of two love-interest heroes vying for Bea’s heart – her artisan-cheesemaking childhood sweetheart and a knock-you-off-your-feet property developer.
After impulsively jacking in her dead-end temp job and investing her life savings in a ramshackle old horsebox, Bea sets about turning her dream of running a bookshop into a reality, and opens Bea’s Book Wagon. But it’s not all smooth sailing, and as Bea struggles with the challenges of running her own small business, she can only hope that her love of literature and the power of reading can help transform the lives of her friends, her community and herself in the process.
What did I think?
Bea's Book Wagon is my third virtual visit to Blossom Heath and I absolutely loved it. You don't need to have read Julie Haworth's pervious novels to enjoy this one but you will definitely want to read them if this is your first visit to Blossom Heath.
It was lovely to catch up with some familiar faces but this is very much Bea's story. Bea loves books so I had an immediate affinity with her. Once the panic subsides after resigning from her job she decides to do something she really loves: sell books and share her love of reading. An old horsebox may not sound like the ideal bookstore but with a little help from her friends Bea transforms it into something special.
I adored Bea from the very start and she has the most amazing ability to be able to match a person to a book so she's the perfect bookseller. As well as starting her business, Bea meets Lochlan in a very swoony Mr Darcy moment that had me reaching for my virtual fan, but it was farmer Nathan who I was hoping would win Bea's heart. You will need to read the book to find out how it all ends though!
Cosier than your favourite pair of slippers, Bea's Book Wagon is a delightful, heartwarming and captivating book. One not to be missed for book lovers!
I received a gifted paperback to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
