Book of Interest: Vanessa Yu's Magical Paris Tea Shop

Besides the really cute cover, Vanessa Yu's Magical Paris Tea Shop by Roselle Lim seems like an interesting story. Can you image whenever you drink tea, you always see someones fortune (or misfortune) whether you want to or not. I'm sure it's both disturbing and annoying when all she probably wants to do is enjoy a mug of hot tea. I wonder how her trip to Paris will affect her abilities or will it give her a chance not to think about it at all.

Who else is adding this book to their list? I am because I really want to read this.

Book: Vanessa Yu's Magical Paris Tea Shop by Roselle Lim

Publication Date: August 4, 2020

Description:

From the critically acclaimed author of Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune comes a new delightful novel about exploring all the magical possibilities of life in the most extraordinary city of all: Paris.

Vanessa Yu never wanted to see people's fortunes—or misfortunes—in tea leaves.

Ever since she can remember, Vanessa has been able to see people's fortunes at the bottom of their teacups. To avoid blurting out their fortunes, she converts to coffee, but somehow fortunes escape and find a way to complicate her life and the ones of those around her. To add to this plight, her romance life is so nonexistent that her parents enlist the services of a matchmaking expert from Shanghai.

After her matchmaking appointment, Vanessa sees death for the first time. She decides that she can't truly live until she can find a way to get rid of her uncanny abilities. When her eccentric Aunt Evelyn shows up with a tempting offer to whisk her away, Vanessa says au revoir to California and bonjour to Paris. There, Vanessa learns more about herself and the root of her gifts and realizes one thing to be true: knowing one's destiny isn't a curse, but being unable to change it is.
