Sweetly by Jackson Pearce
4.0
I wanted to read this book for a while. I'm really big into retellings and I enjoy seeing how the author will twist them, where the story will go, how they will make it their own.
Sweetly is a retelling of Hansel and Gretel, a fairytale about a brother and sister that find themselves face to face with a witch.
I think Jackson Pearce did a really good job with Sweetly. Honestly, it was really different than I expected it to be, but it was still really good. I liked the setting of Sophia's chocolatier and the whole town of Live Oak. Living a rural Kentucky, you see a lot of towns like it and it was relateable. I would definitely read this one again and I really want to read Sisters Red!
