Book: The Sweet Life

About the book:

Dawn Dixon can hardly believe she’s on a groomless honeymoon on beautiful Cape Cod . . . with her mother. Sure, Marnie Dixon is good company, but Dawn was supposed to be here with Kevin, the love of her life (or so she thought).

Marnie Dixon needs some time away from the absolute realness of life as much as her jilted daughter does, and she’s not about to let her only child suffer alone–even if Marnie herself had been doing precisely that for the past month.

Given the circumstances, maybe it was inevitable that Marnie would do something as rash as buy a run-down ice-cream shop in the town’s tightly regulated historic district. After all, everything’s better with ice cream.

Her exasperated daughter knows that she’s the one who will have to clean up this mess. Even when her mother’s impulsive real estate purchase brings Kevin back into her life, Dawn doesn’t get her hopes up. Everyone knows that broken romances stay broken . . . don’t they?

Welcome to a summer of sweet surprises on Cape Cod–a place where dreams just might come true.

My thoughts:

When I read the description of this book and saw the cover, I knew I would enjoy it.  And I was right! I enjoyed seeing the relationship between main characters Dawn and Marnie and how both of these characters grew throughout this book.   I don't guess I'd ever realized or thought about all the steps involved in making yummy ice cream and all the factors that must be considered.    

Another fun thing was we were on vacation while I was reading this book.  And we found a fun little ice cream shop that made me wonder if it was similar to the Main Street Creamery.  We love ice cream and always make a point to stop to get ice cream when we are on a family vacation....like every night we find an ice cream shop.  It's a fun little tradition we have.  

This is another good story from Suzanne Woods Fisher, and I look forward to the next book in this series. There is a sneak peek at the back of this book for book #2.  I'm glad I'll get to visit the Creamery again as well as these characters.

Have a day of blessings!
