Book Summary:
Were you a sherbet lemon or chocolate lime fan? Soft chewy ones or hard-boiled sweeties (you do get more for your money that way)? The jangle of your pocket money . . . the rustle of the pink and green striped paper bag . . .
Rosie Hopkins thinks leaving her busy London life, and her boyfriend Gerard, to sort out her elderly Aunt Lilian's sweetshop in a small country village is going to be dull. Boy, is she wrong!
Lilian Hopkins has spent her life running Lipton s sweetshop, through wartime and family feuds. As she struggles with the idea that it might finally be time to settle up, she also wrestles with the secret history hidden behind the jars of beautifully colored sweets.

My Thoughts:
An adorable story of a woman named Rosie who goes to help out her aging aunt Lilian. She has taken a spill and needs someone to help her straighten up her sweet shop and sell it so she can afford to move to a good old age home. Rosie is leaving her boyfriend in London to move to the country temporarily so she thinks. Little does she know country life will grow on her and she may even find true love and come to love selling sweets.
I thoroughly enjoyed following Rosie's journey to finding herself and what makes her happy. I recommend you giving it a try.
