A review by mcipher
Sweetshop of Dreams by Jenny Colgan
4.0
This was such a sweet book. It made me nostalgic for things I've never had - an old-fashioned candy store, a life in a tiny English village, London...
Rosie is funny and boisterous and adorable, and I really enjoyed the small-town feel and the interesting characters.
My only gripe is the flashbacks - I understand why they were there, to set up Lillian's character, but I could have done without them. I felt like keeping it in the present time would have worked just as well, with a quick exposition of what had occurred in the past.
