Loved this story about Rosie who decided to live London and go to Amsterdam to get a job on the Floating Amsterdam Flower Shop. She rented a house boat the Forget me Knot. She loved everything flowers as her Mom, was a botanist. She had a handsome houseboat neighbor Max. , who is an artist. Read to see if and when they start liking each other and where it goes. Rosie lands a small pitch on the floating florist shop and after an odd begining , the shop is off and running. She makes some friend and when certain things happen . The shop on the canal is like it used to be because of Rosie's willingness to always do the right thing.

I've been wanting to read a book for Annabel for a while and this was the perfect beginning. Rosie, sick of her life and jumping from one job to another she decides to leave for a new life in Amsterdamn.

It's a gorgeous story full of dreams, ambitions, friendships and maybe a happy ever after. I loved reading Rosie and Max's story and I hope you will too.

I'll be going back to read more of Annabel books for sure.

Oh I loved this book. Rosie moves to Amsterdam to follow her dream and wow you get a brilliant story. You learn loads about Amsterdam , their flower market ,barges and yummy food. Some amazing characters in the book. There is a sad element and romance. Can’t recommend it enough . One of my books of 2025..

This was a sweet, clean read about a girl who leaves home to realize her dream of owning a flower shop in Amsterdam.

It would have been so much easier for Rosie Harper to stay home and nurse her grief, but she bolsters her courage and discovers that “the journey was as much fun as the destination.” Along the way, she deals with many people and events that want to derail her, but she, with the help of some newfound friends and calls home to her Dad, learns to stand her ground and work for her dream.

You’ll love the great characters, from the grumpy neighbour to the helpful friend, love the food references, and will feel like the author has transported you and your bike to one of the most intriguing places in the world.

I learned about ‘Dutch courage’ and Bloemenmarkt, and was reminded that appearances can be deceiving.

My takeaway: treat everyone with kindness and respect because you never know what they’re going through.

I was gifted this copy by Avon Books UK and was under no obligation to provide a review.

I loved Rosie and Maxs story. I highly enjoyed Rosie and her love of flowers. I love the floral shop aspect as I always dreamed of having one. Max was a great love interest and I adored how Rosie was slowly able to coax him out of a broken heart. It was endearing, beautifully written, and a true delight to read. Highly recommend if you looking for a cozy romance that gives you all the feels.
