⭐ 4/5 ⭐

Short and sweet. Lils takes over a sweet shop on a whim and quickly realises running a business is harder than she first thought. 

- A novella that's super cute and heartwarming. Somehow in the limited space, Edwards manages to squeeze in so much heart and personality. The main characters we vibrant and vivid and I loved how they all grew.

- Occasionally some of the chapters felt a bit rushed but the novella is pretty fast paced anyway. I would have happily read a longer and more detailed version of this book too.

- I loved the description of the sweets and the making process. As a kid I used to love watching hard sweet making when I went on holiday to Alum Bay and this brought back very happy memories. I could envisage each part of the process and practically taste the products.

A very enjoyable novella. Perfect for those wanting a vibrant and whimsical story with lots of heart.
