Marlene, I am truly enjoying Miss Ivy’s Tea Room! I’m on page 180 and I’m dreaming of a trip to beautiful Jamaica and looking around the island (MV) for a good location to open up a tea room! Thank you for the vivid descriptions and building lovely characters and relationships that I actually find myself caring about the outcomes! Let me know when the sequel is available! ……………………………….Ann, Martha’s Vineyard, MA
The book was awesome and captured my attention immediately . It felt like I was there and I couldn't put it down………….Shea Sapp, Atlanta, Georgia
Great book overall. What I like most about it is the development of the characters throughout the book. The author does a great job at descriptions of each scene and character that you can actually visualize what's happening as you read making it a definite page turner. It's great to read a book that is both enjoyable and well written.

I absolutely loved Miss Ivy's Tea Room. I found it to be very entertaining and it kept me wanting more. I loved the style of writing by the author, Marlene Rose Clarke. I wish I had a Miss Ivy's Tea Room right in my own neighborhood! Every person has a story to tell and I found each one of the characters had their own story to tell and each one was as good as the previous one. I like a book with a lot of different characters with their own personal stories. I read this book in 3 days and will definitely read a sequel if there is one. I will recommend this book to my family and friend…………………………………………Diane Coon, Connecticut
This is a fast read and excellent book. The story of the characters in the tea room is very interesting, and immediately draws your interest. A must read!!! … Carol Gary, Virginia
