Did I enjoy this book: I did enjoy Sugar Spun Sister. It was a fun read that had me glued to my Nook, reading every free chance I had.Cricket is a young woman with big dreams but not quite enough courage to take a step towards realizing those dreams. She is in a job that she knows how to do; unfortunately, her boss has no faith in her abilities whatsoever. What does Anna dream about doing? Owning her own ice cream shop. She is rather talented when it comes to creating fabulous ice cream flavors. I enjoyed reading all of the ingredients in each flavor at the beginning of each chapter. I wish I could try that ice cream. If I knew how to make ice cream, I would definitely try some of those combinations!Anyway … back to the story. Cricket has her two best friends who are always there for her whenever she needs them. They support her and have been encouraging her to open her own ice cream shop. Encouraging isn’t quite the word I’m looking for. Pressuring (but in a good way) is a better word choice. Her friends keep pushing her to take on this adventure, and they shoot down any reasons Cricket comes up with to not move forward. They soon join forces and all sorts of fun, adventure, and drama ensues.I loved that her parents weren’t on board with Cricket’s plans. Not for reasons you would expect. That was kind of comical to me. Cricket’s brother was there to help out, which was sweet. Her hook up was on hand for most of her needs and a few embarrassing moments. One moment had me chuckling throughout the rest of the book when it was alluded to.All-in-all, Sugar Spun Sister was another great read from Ms. Garner. I can’t wait to read the rest of the Sweet Dreams series.Would I recommend it: I would recommend this book to any chick lit fan.Will I read it again: I may read this again in the future.(I received a copy of this book for review purposes.)
