Starting over never tasted so good Holly Berry has it a good career, a steady boyfriend, and enough savings that the two of them will soon be able to buy a nice little house. But when she finds out her boyfriend has been cheating on her, she decides to retreat to the Cotswolds and a place full of far sweeter memories.
Quite literally.
However, Holly discovers the quaint village sweet shop she worked in as a teenager is starting to crumble. Putting all her chocolate eggs in one basket, she says goodbye to the city, and sets her sights on a new project.
After all, how hard can running a sweet shop be?
Full of laughter, sweet romance and cosy village life, The Sweet Shop of Second Chances will make you believe that the best things in life really are worth fighting for.
"A delightful, well written tale, full of wonderful characters in a charming setting. I loved it!” Katie Fforde
So I did a thing where I signed up for a tour and realised I was signing up for the 6th book in a series but then discovered that the audiobooks were included in my subscription to Scribd, so why not? Well, I DEVOURED THIS!
I loved Holly from the second I met her and was so annoyed that my husband decided to call me on my drive home because we were on the phone for an hour and that was an hour I LOST! (I also told him this!) I then sat and blitzed it all day, I didn’t want to stop listening! I loved Holly and her journey, I mean I hated what happened with her and Dan, what a prat. I also could see what was going to happen a mile off with one character and I was begging Holly not to fall for it – but I guess we have to learn from our mistakes – and she did!
That sweet shop is the stuff of dreams, and it made me want to give everything up and have my own sweet shop, but sadly, there is no way I can. But what a dream. Everything about the sweet shop was delightful and it reminded me of my childhood going to the sweet shop and getting the sweets measured and put in paper bags. Signs of a good time!
I just know I am going to love this series so much. I am already in love with the characters and they are providing me with so much fun and adventure. I would love Jamie and Caroline to be my friends too!
A strong start to what will be a gorgeous and sweet series!
Until the next time xxx
