But nostalgia isn't really Rosie Hopkins's thing-not with her busy London routine that includes fantastic friends and an...acceptable boyfriend. Even so, Rosie does her Aunt Lilian a favor and takes a job in her small village sweetshop. As Aunt Lilian struggles with the idea that it might finally be time to retire from the business, a long-kept family secret makes life in the sweetshop a lot more interesting than Rosie had anticipated, and inspires her to break out of her routine"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>"Sheer indulgence from start to finish."--Sophie Kinsella, #1 <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author</strong></p><p><strong>A delicious rom-com about finding yourself and breaking out of routines, <em>The Sweetshop of Dreams</em> is full of tempting desserts, family secrets, and second chances.</strong></p><p>Rosie Hopkins has gotten used to busy London life.
