In this book you'll definitely meet a cast of interesting characters. Samantha is your writer and she has many stories to tell but this one doesn't come to her until her inheritance does. On that special day she realizes the stories that really need to be told and sits down to tell you all about Madeline, Lanie, Ian, Jeff and all the rest. These characters have an interesting history together, they have an interesting way of interacting with one another and with the world around them but they are definitely people you would love to meet.One of my favorite things about this book (besides the plot line of course) was that each of these characters has flaws. Madeline likes to step in where she's not needed, Ian doesn't know how to forgive, Lanie is so quick to trust ... these flaws are what makes them human. Their flaws make them seem like they are actually real people that you could easily relate to and understand. They make you take notice of their story and want to find out more. When I reached the end of this story, even though it ended well I still wanted to know more about the characters.Maddie and Lanie are going to open up a tea room where everyone from their hometown of Austin, Texas can come for a real Jane Austen, English cup of tea. They're determined that it's going to be a success no matter what it takes but Maddie's matchmaking sometimes gets in the way of what they're trying to accomplish. It seems she just can't stop butting into everything and trying to arrange everyone else's lives so they fit what she thinks should happen. We'll just have to wait and see if she can put her matchmaking aside enough to make her tea room a success.
