Cricket is at a dead end job. Her boss is misery itself and loads her up with horrible tasks that are no where near her job description. To get away from all her stress, Anna loves to create new flavours of ice cream when she is at home. Can her dream of opening up her own little ice cream shop become a reality?Sugar Spun Sister is the first part of the Sweet Dreams series. Every book will focus on either Cricket (who makes the start with this first one) or Nora and Lindsay (Cricket’s best friends).I loved the way the book portrayed so many different emotions. From the sadness of having to go to a hated workplace everyday to the joys (and stresses) involved in opening up your own business. Cricket is extremely inspiring and enthusiastic.Sugar Spun Sister is such a well-rounded piece of writing. Not only is the love factor centre of the book, but also the relationship between friends and the realisation of dreams. I found the on and off relationship (or better said – friends with benefits issue) between Cricket and Jimmy really interesting. All the way through I had no idea where Anna is taking those two characters (I love a few surprises along the way!!).At the start of each chapter, the author described one of Crickets amazing ice cream recipes. I think I already gained weight by just reading :-). These recipes add so much value to the book! (Must ask for an ice cream maker for Christmas :-)).I am looking forward to reading the other parts of the Sweet Dream series. Sugar Spun Sister is such a sweet (no pun intended) and brilliant start to kick off this series.
