The Village Shop For Lonely Hearts by Alison Sherlock
A feel-good story of new beginnings set in a gorgeous country village, perfect for fans of Katie Fforde and Milly Johnson.
After losing her job in New York, Amber Green isn’t looking forward to visiting her godmother in the sleepy village of Cranbridge. With its empty lanes and rundown shops, it’s hardly a place to mend her lonely heart.
But when Amber discovers that Cranbridge Stores, owned by her godmother Cathy and son Josh, is under threat of financial ruin, she realises that her skills as a window dresser might just be able to help save the struggling shop.
This is a delightful and heart-warming story about friendship and community. Honestly, this was such a treat to read. It was a nice escape on a miserable, wet day. It was nice to read about the transformation of the shop through the book and also see the development of Amber and Josh. I was so disappointed that this book finished before I was ready and I will be on the lookout for the next book in the series.
Rating 4/5

Well narrated, cute, likeable MC's and side characters. Nothing groundbreaking, but very enjoyable all the same.
