I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
Summary:
Daisy McCrae knows that change can be sudden—and devastating. And while it doesn’t have to be a bad thing, change has the power to turn your whole world upside down….
Running the family bakery and living in the store’s attic might not be Daisy’s dream life, but she’s beginning to understand what being content feels like. And then she gets some unexpected news. In one moment, Daisy’s calm existence turns into chaos. Now she’s struggling to keep it together, especially with renovations at the bakery spiraling out of control.
But when a box of recipes and mementos is found hidden behind a wall in the bakery, Daisy suddenly has something to cling to—a mystery that echoes her own troubles and gives her the opportunity to figure out what she really wants out of life….
Review:
I read the first book in this series, Union Street Bakery, and thought it was marvelous! There was a good storyline and a bit of ghost aspect as well, and I read it quickly. Finally getting my hands on Sweet Expectations, I was looking forward to seeing how Daisy’s story continued to play out. Let me tell you – there is a quite a twist right at the beginning to really throw you for a loop! Once again we are introduced to a mystery that is hidden in the walls of the bakery, found when the sisters start to do renovations. I loved the sub-plot of that took Daisy on a search and find mission, and both sisters got a little more limelight in this one as well. The only thing I didn’t like as much was constantly being reminded that Daisy was abandoned by her mom and the fact that she really can’t seem to move past it. But other than that, really good book and I recommend the first one as well!
