Magic is brewing.
A wanderer in search of a home. A healer in need of healing. A town seeking a fresh start. And the magic that binds them together.
Popular storyteller Sunny Callaway is known for writing captivating human-interest stories, but lately she’s having trouble writing anything. After a devastating loss and the destruction of her marriage, she’s been traveling the South. When a surprise discovery leads her to a small town fighting for survival after the closing of its tea factory, she finds family she hadn’t known and a desire to stay.
Tea shop owner Nova Frances Clark has an old soul, a healer’s heart, and a heap of secrets. Although her special chamomile tea blends can heal minor ailments, she’s at a loss on how to help save her hometown. When her long-lost cousin Sunny arrives for a visit, it sets into motion a dramatic revitalization plan, finally giving Nova hope for the future.
In their attempt to save the town, Sunny and Nova learn to trust the magic that comes from opening up to each other, that tea is best when it’s shared with those you love, and that the most meaningful stories come from the heart.

Review of Advanced Copy from NetGalley
Another wonderful read by Heather Webber. I absolutely love her books—they’re cozy, heartwarming, and feel so down-to-earth. Nova and Sunny’s relationship was one of my favorite parts of the story, and the twists near the end completely caught me by surprise. Such a charming and enjoyable read from beginning to end. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

368-page Kindle Ebook
340-page ADC courtesy of St. Martin's Press and NetGalley
Genre: Women's Fiction, Magical Realism
Rating as a movie: PG
Featuring: Bibliography for Heather Webber, Fictional Small-Town 3 hours from Montgomery, Alabama; Influencer, House Flipper, Lawyer, Storyteller, Cousins, Tea, Infertility, Psychics, Epigraphs, Revitalization, Mystery, Secrets, Dogs
My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🫖☕️🔮🐕
My thoughts: I have read all of Heather Webber's standalone catalog, and I always end each book with a smile on my face, maybe a tear, and a deep reluctance to leave whatever fictional Alabama town I was enjoying. The Magic of Chamomile Cottage did not disappoint; it was fantastic from start to finish. I even intentionally slowed down my reading pace just so I could linger among the families of Woodnote a bit longer.
If you love Chicken Noodle Soup stories, Southern charm, and a touch of magic, you absolutely need to check out her work—and her books written under the pen name Heather Blake are fantastic as well! She is just as sweet in real life as she is in her writing, and that genuine warmth translates beautifully into her storytelling. Reading this book felt like a cross between a warm hug and a cozy cup of cocoa on a beach.
Recommend to others: Absolutely! This is going to make the perfect Christmas gift for some lucky book dragons this year.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
This was the first book of Heather Webber's that I've read, and I enjoyed it thoroughly! I think this book falls in nicely with contemporary cozy fiction with magical elements, and reminded me a bit of Sarah Addison Allen's works. There were a lot of family secrets, which are hinted at and then slowly revealed throughout the book, and bits of magic with Nova able to see what's making people sick and Sunny able to see visions in the special chamomile tea.
I thought the plot was really well handled, and I loved that while there was romance and happy ever afters, the two points of view that the book went back and forth with were Nova and Sunny. It was really clear that the heart of the book was them finding each other and family and happiness, and while the romance was part of that, it was great that romance wasn't the ONLY thing that brought them joy.
The revitalization of the town was a lovely part of the story, and it was fun having various characters (like Erik and Sebastian and Claude!) introduced - you just know the arts and culture center and all the new stores on Main Street are going to be amazing.

I am a big fan of this author, and her new book did not disappoint. The two main characters, Sunny and Nova(cousins), come together at a time when both are facing hardships in their lives. Sunny, a writer, is dealing with a breakdown in her marriage and an infertility diagnosis. Nova, a healer with her special teas, is dealing with the loss of her town. When these two women unite, their joint endeavors to revitalize the town begins. A little bit of magic, a lot of hard work and the connection between these two women makes this book a great read.

Do you believe in magic and coincidences?
I know I do and oh how I enjoyed this beautiful story between Sunny and her new found cousin Nova.
The love, warmth, secrets and mystery are well detailed as we sip and learn from many a cuppa together.
This is a truly uplifting, fun book with something for everyone and it it definitely not a coincidence that I was able to have tea with these
wonderful women at the cottage!
Thank you to @NetGalley and to @St.Martins Press for this ARC and allowing me to provide my own review after reading.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance reader copy. All opinions are my own.
This was such a cute, cozy, cottage book. I loved the closed door romance and reconciliation between characters. This mountain town felt magical. There were unexpected twists with a perfect ending I didn’t see coming. The only downside was that it was a little hard to follow at times with all the different characters and families.
