Welcome To Rosie Hopkins' Sweetshop Of Dreams by Jenny Colgan

***** 5 stars
I have read a few of Colgan's books in the past and loved the title and cover of this book so I decided to give it a shot. Loved it. It reminded me alot of Katie Fforde book, more depth to it. I truly loved the characters, and was happy to see when I finished there was a follow-up book to sink my teeth into.

Book Jacket Summary:
Rosie Hopkins is about to face major upheaval. Her elderly aunt Lilian - feisty, independent Aunt Lily who never talked about her past - needs her help, so Rosie is moving to the depths of the countryside for a few months to look after her. Plus Rosie will be away from Gerard, the man she hopes to settle down with soon, and they'll miss each other dreadfully... won't they?
Lilian Hopkins has spent her life running Lipton's village sweetshop, through wartime and family feuds. As she struggles with the idea that it might finally be time to sell up, she also wrestles with the secret history hidden behind the jars of beautifully coloured sweets.
And the longer Rosie and Lilian spend together, the more they realise they can learn from each other...
