Review: 5/5 Stars
Sweetshop of Dreams is a novel about Rosie, a young woman who leaves her life in London to care for her Aunt Lilian and revive her aunt's small town sweetshop. What Rosie expects to be short and mundane visit turns into something so much more, and gives her an entirely new perspective on her life and those around her.
I am admittedly a huge Jenny Colgan fan, so to say I felt honored to have the chance to review this ARC is an understatement. Sweetshop of Dreams did not disappoint and was an absolute joy to read. Rosie is a fantastic protagonist and I enjoyed reading her story from start to finish. The flashbacks to Lilian's story in the 1940s were a nice touch and added a welcome extra layer to the book. The writing style is as wonderful as the author's previous novels; I could not get enough of the humorous nature of a lot of the dialog. And the recipes just sealed this book with a bow on top. Another great book by Jenny Colgan, and one that I would highly recommend
Thanks to Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Landmark for this ARC; this is my honest and voluntary review.
