Jenny Colgan can be counted on for a reliable cute story, I will read the next one, but probably not super soon. The lazy boyfriend bit was a little over the top for me but overall it was pretty good but I didn't love love any of the characters. (

It took me quite awhile to get through this. It was ok, I didn't really get invested in the characters and probably won't read anything else by this author. (

Africa is not one country. Africa is a continent. It really bothers me that a main character has such an experience in Africa and yet can't articulate which part of Africa he was in.

Other than that and the fact that Gerard was a dingus, this is another delightful Jenny Colgan book. (

Enjoyed this sweet story, though it was a little long. Makes you wish you had a bag of pick & mix beside you as you read! (

When Rosie is tasked with helping her elderly aunt clean out and sell the family sweetshop, little does Rosie suspect the twists and turns her life will take. Village life turns out to be very different from London life! As Rosie gets to know the local people, she finds many surprises, and discovers a lot about herself besides. The plot of this novel occurs in two different time periods, moving seamlessly between past and present. Readers learn about Aunt Lilian's past life and its effects on current events and village life. Loose ends are thoughtfully tied up in the end, sometimes in unexpected ways!

The novel contains some strong language, although it does not detract from the plot or the character development. I received this novel from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own. (

"Sheer indulgence from start to finish."�??Sophie Kinsella, #1 New York Times bestselling author

A delicious rom-com about finding yourself and breaking out of routines, The Sweetshop of Dreams is full of tempting desserts, family secrets, and second chances.

Rosie Hopkins has gotten used to busy London life. It's...comfortable. And though she might like a more rewarding career, and her boyfriend's not exactly the king of romance, Rosie's not complaining. And when she visits her Aunt Lilian's small country village to help sort out her sweetshop, she expects it to be dull at best.

Lilian Hopkins has spent her life running Lipton's sweetshop, through wartime and family feuds. When her great-niece Rosie arrives to help her with the shop, the last thing Lillian wants to slow down and wrestle with the secret history hidden behind the jars of beautifully colored sweets.

But as Rosie gets Lilian back on her feet, breathes a new life into the candy shop, and gets to know the mysterious and solitary Stephen�??whose family seems to own the entire town�??she starts to think that settling for what's comfortable might not be so great after all.

Fans of British chick-lit authors Sophie Kinsella, Jennifer Weiner and Jill Mansell will find the nostalgic sweets and light-hearted romance in this book more than satisfying.
