Book Review: Sugar Spun Sister by Anna Garner

Reviewer: Christy

How do you help your best friend better her life when she’s stuck in a miserable copywrighting job (and a boss who hates her), a relationship that will never make it past “friends with benefits” (or so her boyfriend says), and who has the uncanny knack to make life’s situations tastefully yummy while developing amazing ice cream flavors in her kitchen? Well, Lindsay & Nora help and encourage Cricket Whittier to open her own ice cream shop.

Cricket has always wanted to open up her own shop one day, but the timing has never felt right for her. After a taste test run in the local park, Lindsay & Nora show Cricket that she DOES have what it would take to be a successful entrepreneur. Encouraging words, best friend support and all the heavy cream in the world doesn’t make it easy for Cricket to open her shop, but she soon finds out that hard work, determination and having dreams that are bigger than the nay-sayers (in addition to the encouragement, support and heavy cream) is exactly what she needs to be successful. After forming a partnership with her best friends, Cricket is celebrating the opening of her very own gourmet ice cream shop.

Sugar Spun Sister is the story of a young woman who follows her heart and makes her dreams come true. Filled with laughter and best friends, Anna Garner hit it again with a great story. She’s quickly becoming one of my favorite new authors. I can’t wait for the second book in this new series!
