Tea House on Mulberry Street by Sharon Owens

Rating - 8/10
From the back cover:
"Muldoons Tea Rooms, beloved for its cozy atmosphere and luscious desserts, has started looking a bit outdated - and the same could be said about the proprietors, Penny and Daniel Stanley. After seventeen years, their marriage has started to fade and wear a little thin, even as their old shop bustles with the energy of the customers who seek refuge from their particular dilemmas. Perpetually dieting housewife Sadie Smith comes in to escape her husband's stick-thin mistress. Struggling artist Brenda Brown sits and pens love letters to actor Nicholas Cage. And Claire Fitzgerald returns after twenty years abroad to search for a long-lost soul mate."
This was a lovely, warm read. The lives of the characters were so well interwoven, bitter sweet at times & laugh out loud at others : Sadie's expose of Arnold at his office Christmas party had me in stitches.
