This was such a sweet novella all about found family and following your dreams. Coyote's books always feel like a warm hug, so this is a great book to pick up when you want something cozy and comforting.

⭐ 4/5 ⭐
Short and sweet. Lils takes over a sweet shop on a whim and quickly realises running a business is harder than she first thought.
- A novella that's super cute and heartwarming. Somehow in the limited space, Edwards manages to squeeze in so much heart and personality. The main characters we vibrant and vivid and I loved how they all grew.
- Occasionally some of the chapters felt a bit rushed but the novella is pretty fast paced anyway. I would have happily read a longer and more detailed version of this book too.
- I loved the description of the sweets and the making process. As a kid I used to love watching hard sweet making when I went on holiday to Alum Bay and this brought back very happy memories. I could envisage each part of the process and practically taste the products.
A very enjoyable novella. Perfect for those wanting a vibrant and whimsical story with lots of heart.

If you are neurospicy then you will probably relate to one or two of these characters. Lils has spent her life trying to find where she fits. Little did she realize that she was going to need friends a long the way.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Cursing
A slime creature who is the living definition of ADHD spontaneously buys a candy shop and, with the help of the previous owner's granddaughter, attempt to give the shop a new face that'll put it on the map.
Thoughts:
- Took a few pages before it could really grab my attention
- Better character development than previous book I read from the author (Coffee, Milk & Spider Silk) probably due to less characters overall
- Beautiful relationship between the two main character's as they grow
- A cozy story starring a neurodivergent main character that didn't make want to grind my teeth into dust
- Quick and easy read with less than 100 pages but don't expect anything groundbreaking
