Loved this book, loved all the characters except for the evil dentist. How could you not love a book about sweeties :)

Did enjoy this and worth a read but it seemed very slow and a bit predictable. Real feel good factor with a few surprises and a nice ending. One to read with a cup of cocoa in front of a coal fire!

Really enjoyed this. Bought it as a 'buy one get one half price' at my local Waterstones and it was a happy purchase (not all of them are - I struggled for months to read Game of Thrones). Loved Rosie, Stephen and the rest of the villagers. I found her first boyfriend rather odious and definitely useless and though it was obvious she struggled with adjusting, the relationship she built with her aunt was so clearly affectionate that the move was worth while.
I put off reading this for a while, but am happy I still had something to savour.

Another cute and light read... there were several typos throughout the book though, which were a bit distracting - there was even one point where the name referenced was Rosie although it definitely should have been Lilian! (It occurred during one of the 1942 sections.) Oh well, it still was an entertaining read that I got through in a Sunday afternoon. There's something about Colgan's books... although similar storylines prevail through each and every one of them, I can't seem to get enough!

This was such a cute read. Feel good, warm and fuzzy romance set in an idyllic English village. I love that each chapter started out with a bit about English sweets- inspired me to order a basket of vintage sweeties to try some out!
The story moved well between Lillian and Rosie and their present and Lillians past. I love Lillian’s spunk and love the relationship that formed between the two women!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.
