My review:
Cleoās dream is to open up an Alice in Wonderland themed tearoom on Ever After Street. She aces the interview and is offered a 3 month probation period for the space. She wasnāt all that truthful, so now she has to figure out how sheāll make her dream come true.
Bram is a quirky fella that is working in the tearoom as the Mad Hatter. He plays the part fabulously and might just be catching the eye of his very own Alice. I found him to be quite the delight.
Of course we have a couple unbearable characters that I’d like to send rolling down the street in a barrel.
I think Iāve watched just about every Disney movie except Alice in Wonderland, how crazy is that? Haven’t read it either. Since Iām not familiar with it Iāll just assume it was properly depicted. I enjoyed the magic of it all.
My favorite part of the whole series is how every character on Ever After Street is so helpful and supportive of each other. When Cleo is blackmailed every single resident steps in and does whatever they can to help her out.
Somewhat repetitive and predictable, but an enjoyable addition to the series nonetheless.
Series notes:
While I donāt think itās fully necessary to read the first 2 books it would be more enjoyable if you do so. Marnie from book 2 is Cleoās best friend, so she pops in quite often to lend a hand and an ear. There wasnāt much interaction with book 1 characters, but they are referenced.
Narration notes:
I did not listen to this one, but am just giving the info above for reference.

Book blurb:
A brand new and utterly enchanting series by bestselling author Jaimie Admans.
A picture-perfect town, a place where dreams come true. Welcome to Ever After Street…
There’s always time for tea… unless you’ve lost your teapotā¦
Cleo Jordan has only ever wished for one thing ā to open her own teashop in memory of her lovely gran. So when she accidentally fools the interview board into thinking she’s a brilliant baker and is offered a prime spot on Ever After Street, she knows her dream is about to come true!
Stepping into The Wonderland Teapot is like falling down the rabbit hole – magical! But thereās a catch: Cleo has completely lost her love of baking! With her little white lie ticking in her ear, it seems her dream is over before itās begun.
Until she meets her very own Mad Hatter. Loved by everyone on Ever After Street, magician Bram brings an energy to the teashop that lifts everyone, and slowly, with his encouragement, Cleo is getting back to doing what she loves best.
But with Bram hiding secrets of his own, Cleo isnāt sure she can put all her faith in him. And when things start going wrong at the teashop, Cleo wonders if the culprit sabotaging her dream is someone closer than she thinks?
If Cleo wants her wish to work, she has to learn to trust again before she loses her head and heart completelyā¦although it might already be far too late for that…
Perfect for fans of Holly Martin, Kat French and Caroline Roberts!

Author Bio ā
Jaimie is a 32-year-old English-sounding Welsh girl with an awkward-to-spell name. She lives in South Wales and enjoys writing, gardening, watching horror movies, and drinking tea, although sheās seriously considering marrying her coffee machine. She loves autumn and winter, and singing songs from musicals despite the fact sheās got the voice of a dying hyena. She hates spiders, hot weather, and cheese & onion crisps. She spends far too much time on Twitter and owns too many pairs of boots.
She will never have time to read all the books she wants to read.
