First of all - cover love! I absolutely love this cover! It is just so cute and it makes me want to read about that adorable girl on the cover. And I love the colors! And I love the fact that she is standing behind an ice cream counter. Yum, ice cream! Yep, that about covers the cover!I have now read several books by Anna Garner (aka Libby Mercer) and have loved them all. I am thinking that this one could be my favorite, for now anyway, depending on what she writes next. Anna's storytelling talent hits an all time high with this book and it was just so enjoyable to read. And this story has it all; it's touching and warm, it hilarious (the kid's birthday party - wait till you read about that!), it's frustrating, it's serious. You get my drift.'We're fine. Just going through a minor rough patch. Nothing to worry about.'The three main characters are great, as well as being believable. They are three friends, all with different personalities and ideas, but they get along so well. And they are there for each other. When I think of my friends, that is just so true to life. I truly loved reading about Cricket, Lindsay, and Nora. There are also so many other great characters and relationships in the story and I loved how they all meshed together.Sugar Spun Sister is the first book in the Sweet Dreams series. This one focuses on Cricket. The other two friends will get their own book in the future. I can't wait to find out more about Lindsay and Nora. I know there is a lot more to learn about their lives.And OMG, the story is about an ice cream parlor and Cricket's delicious ice cream creations. How can that just NOT be a wonderful thing?'Funny, isn't it, how a scrumptious spoonful of ice cream always makes things better...'
