A review by lori_larsson
Christmas at Rosie Hopkins' Sweetshop by Jenny Colgan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
This is the 3rd Christmas story I've read from Jenny Colgan. In the main, they are sweet, progressive, loving stories, cozy and perfect to read at this time of year. But even in The Christmas Bookshop, and Midnight at the Christmas Bookshop, there were weird instances of out-of-place digs on fat people. There wasn't enough to make me stop reading. But this one. I had to stop. I know the world thinks being fat is the worst thing you can be. I disagree. I was interested in the characters in this story, but I won't be finding out what happened to them because I can't get past the fatphobic comments.
