Book Review - The Tea Rose



Fiona Finnegan is the tea rose.  She is a poor young woman from a big, poor family.  They live in Whitechapel.  She dreams of opening a shop with her fiance Joe.  It doesn't seem like there is any possibility that those dreams are gonna come true.

Let me just say this.  Things go horribly wrong,  Like big time wrong.  Fiona ends up in New York City where she helps her uncle reopen his grocery store.  After that, things go really, really well.  Like...this is hard to believe but I'm a sucker for a happy ending well. 

Jennifer Donnelly is the bomb-diggity.  Read everything she writes.  Twice.
