What a perfect summertime read.
I was 100% behind Holly the entire time. She moved back to her hometown where she found out the sweet shop she once worked in was going to be sold and she just couldn't let that happen. So if you guessed she is now the owner of that very sweet shop with a brand new career for herself and you'd be right.
Of course, no story would be complete without some horrible bad guys that you just hate from the moment you first read about them. A cat, I mean any book with a cat in it has to be a hit right? And some new and old friends. And there you have the makings of this book!
Trust me it is well worth the read! And I must admit that it made me wish I could open up my own dream shop... although mine is a sweet shop with books.
