Cleo opens a teashop in memory of her grandmother, based on allice in wonderland. Beautiful location and wonderful characters.

This series has quickly become one of my favourite set of stories, the characters are all so well described and absolutely perfect for the individual stories but I also love it when they are mentioned in the background of other stories. This book based around an Alice in Wonderland themed cafe is really enjoyable, the storyline is predictable but I find that's part of the charm, I love the way Jaimie Admans writes and am excited to see if there are more books in the series - please let there be!!

Thank you NetGalley for the arc of this book in exchange for an honest review. I absolutely love the magic and happiness this author captures in her books. This Ever After Series is definitely my favorite aside from her Christmas books. I love how she works in so many Disney references throughout. Though Alice and Wonderland isn't my favorite Disney movie, I still loved all the Easter eggs that were thrown in from the movie and books. I still think the beauty and the beast on was my favorite but I still enjoyed this one as well. Jaimie Admans definitely knows how to capture the cozy hallmark feel in her books. Now she just needs to add a the Rapunzel hair salon story to her Ever After series and my life will be made.

An Alice in Wonderland tearoom, descriptions of yummy baked goods, a fairytale-themed street, and a completely adorable romance--yes, please! I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I'm so happy to know that there are two more in the series (hopefully more to come, as well?). Thank you to the publisher, NetGalley, and the author!

I always enjoy this series, and this latest book is just as delightful as the others. Back on Ever After Street, Cleo is determined to take over and remake the Tea Shop into an Alice and Wonderland themed tea experience. She has everything precisely done, except for a very important aspect....she has forgotten how to bake. When a Mad Hatter, AKA Bram, walks into her shop magic happens. Suddenly Cleo has more to look forward to than just tea.
This story is a sweet, light read that will leave you wishing you could still believe in fairy tales. I am already looking forward to the next book.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Ah I love Ever After Street. It holds a special place in my heart.

Cleo and Bram are just wonderful characters who each go on their own journey to find themselves throughout the pages of the book.

It's a magical setting and a magical story and I love coming back to Ever After Street and to Jaimie's books.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely loved revisiting Ever After Street and reading about the development of the Wonderland Teapot, tea rooms. Jaimie Admans never ceases to bring a smile to my face with her writing. Ever After Street is a magical place where dreams come true, lonely souls come together and “weird” is always appreciated.

In “A Wonderland Wish” our “Alice”, Cleo, is delighted to live her dream running a tea room like her Mother and Grandmother before her. As with any fairy tale there are several hitches that cause Cleo issues. Firstly she is only renting from the Council and has a lot to do to prove that she and the Wonderland Teapot will be an asset to Ever After Street. The biggest problem though is her inability to bake anything palatable! She used to be a fantastic baker but after loosing her Grandmother and then her home in a house fire, her memory, ability and joy have disappeared.

Enter the Mad Hatter, Bram, hired by the Council to help in the Tearoom. Bram doesn’t take life seriously, he is an excellent magician and entertainer but drives anyone close to him to distraction with his misplaced humour and pranks. However Bram is not all he appears to be, he is also kind, helpful and is well placed to help Cleo in the business.

Bram is delightfully mad- capped and I think every Alice wanna be needs a Bram in their life to allow for things to get curiouser and curiouser. The word play and general banter Bram engages with whilst in character and when he feels uncomfortable was great fun to read. Many people hide behind a public persona and Bram certainly does. I know there will always be a happily ever after on Ever After Street, but, my goodness, I have enjoyed the ride to get there watching the friendship between Cleo and Bram develop whilst lots of bumps in the road are endured.

I've been a fan of Jaimie's books for a few years so I love the fact she now has the Ever After Street series so we can 'catch up' with characters from previous books. In this latest book the focus is on Cleo as she opens her Alice in Wonderland themed cafe. Here she meets Bram and in typical Jaimie style, love and laughs follow.
Another great feel good, easy read that helps me escape and unwind.

I absolutely adore ever after street. This series was simply made for me and I hope all of the Disney stories are told. This one tells the story of Alice in wonderland. I think I preferred the other two books in this series as this one seemed overly predictable but it was still good.

Absolutely smashing book! I just love Ever After street and I wish that I could live there! As everyone on Ever After street is just amazing and so caring to each and everyone!

This book is about Cleo who loves Alice and Wonderland and wants to change the cafe into The Wonderland Teapot but she also gets Bram included who is an amazing Mad Hatter and in between a bit of sabotage there is a love story and that includes friends who have Cleo’s back and a certain nuthatch who is just completely magic in his own way.

I would highly recommend reading this book and also the first two books about Ever After Street as then when you get to this book you will remember characters from the first two books in this book. It’s just amazing!

I would like to thank Boldwood Books and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book early!

A good read. I did enjoy this novel, another in the series at Ever After Street, however there something that niggled me…

I found the book quite repetitive at times, so much so that I had to skip through quite a bit of it. A lot of it is about how they’ve been treated in life, which whilst I understand that it just seemed to go on a bit.

However having said that it was an enjoyable book, I liked the Wonderland themed teashop and again loved the community feel of Ever After Street.

Hope there’s more to come in the series!

Jaimie Admans books should come with a little tag on them just saying "read me". For they are the most magical of books that will take you down the rabbit hole of your imagination and leave you grinning like a Cheshire cat!

Not only that you will be so absorbed, that you will then start running around saying "I'm late, I'm late for a very important date" when you realise that real life was happening while you were enjoying the story so much and that you are now late for something!

Well when you are not calling "off with their heads" at the clear villain of the book, although I almost felt for for them towards the end, but not overly!

Can you tell that I may have just loved this latest Ever After Street book, and that that the featured fairy tale this time around is Alice in Wonderland.

All set in a new teashop, where Cleo suddenly acquires her very own Mad Hatter. And wow what a mad hatter Bram is, i absolutely loved him, on every level that he has. And I really wanted to know how he was doing all of his magic tricks, while being rather relieved that no one broke the magic circle's code by revealing how the magic is done!

But wow I'd love to know how the magic is created in this author's head, as since this series started, it seems to have gone to the next level. This is just another really special book, and I can't wait to see what is coming next.

If you are wanting a perfect escapist read with magic, romance, baking, sabotage, a Mad Hatter, and a whole lot more then you definitely need to read this.

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Every once in a while a writer comes along and refreshes our notions of what fiction can do . . . Buy this book, and prepare to be blasted by the brilliance inside

Jamie Adman’s never disappoints . This time you disappear into a magical Alice in Wonderland tea shop. You have baking issues, small white lies , love and painful families and dodgy x girlfriends .It is a charming magical read. You meet old and new characters on Ever After Street . Just read it .

The third in this Ever After Street series, this one brings in a minor character from a previous story to give her her own HEA, and we also get to follow up with some of the previous main characters in supporting roles. I'm loving the premise behind these...each of which takes a fairy tale and brings it to life through the characters. In this Alice in Wonderland themed tea shop, we have a couple of people who have had challenges to overcome, albeit very very different ones. Somehow, however, together they make it work and heal. Hands-down, my favorite character here is the quirky Mad Hatter...I'd love to see this one made into a movie just to see him brought to life!

This is the third book in the ever after street series and this time we got to delve into Cleo’s story as well as seeing the return of previous characters.. These stories are such magical and escapism reads and this one was made even more special by it also combining my love of Alice in wonderland I loved all of the Alice quotes interspersed between the story. The way these books are written makes you feel like you are immersed in ever after street and into the lives of the characters.

This could be read as a standalone bit highly recommend starting from the beginning for maximum enjoyment.

As a lover of all things fairy tale and fantasy I was super intrigued by this book.
Life has been hitting Cleo a little hard the last few years, but things might be changing. After a nail biting interview she has been given a trial lease of the tea shop on Ever After Street, to give it a make over Alice in Wonderland theme and run it herself. Finally achieving her lifelong dream should be exciting, but Cleo has lost her ability to bake and if she can’t produce the fantastical desserts she promised she might lose her tea shop. And on top of everything the council hired her a Mad Hatter to assist in her shop and he is driving her crazy, even if she does find him ridiculously handsome.
I was thrilled to learn this is actually book three in the Ever After Street series, it means I have two other books to go back and read. I adore the concept of a fairy tale themed shopping street and @jaimieadmans1 did an incredible job bringing it to life. My only complaint is that this magical street is not real and I can’t go there. This was a really fun book and you don’t have to have read the previous two to be able to read this one. However possible spoilers about the fates of previous characters might be contained in this one, which is not going to stop me going back and starting from book one.
If you want a cute and fun summery love story this is definitely one I recommend checking out.
Thank you to @netgalley and @theboldbookclub for letting me review this one.

A lovely story in the Ever After St series. I love the characters, Cleo, the newest shop owner, opens the Wonderland tea room and Bram who comes in as Mad Hatter. Great and fun characters with deeper back stories. Really enjoyed it.
