A review by linneahedvig
Sweetshop of Dreams by Jenny Colgan

2.0

Woo boy! This book had some problems! And I always forget that for all the sachrine stodginess of her characters, Jenny Colgan often throws in a completely unexpected sex scene that just feels like reading romance novels with your grandma. I liked the small-town-village-life part and reliving my youth through descriptions of sweeties, but I really didn't like the backward attitudes about marriage, children, body weight, and pretty much everything else. Oh, but it was hilarious that the big bad guy in the story was the dentist.
