If you’re feeling a little low when reading it your going to need tissues. At the start I struggled with too many character names at once but it didn’t help that I have read no other titles in the series. It’s probably me but I couldn’t connect the storyline with the title of the book.

This is such a bittersweet tale.

Filled with family and an abundance of love.

This is a story that begins with heartbreak but ends with such hope and a feeling of peace.

It felt as though it could be real.

The support from friends and family when tragedy strikes was truly heartwarming.

Best character award goes to Hope, an adorable toddler that bought everyone together in their time of need.

Hannah Lynn has written a book that delivers true emotion in such a gentle way. This novel was a real pleasure to read.

This is the 7th book is the Sweet Shop series. I have enjoyed them all but for fans of the series this one is a bit of a shock.
It's a sad story with not really any light intervals. I did enjoy reading the book but I'm hoping the next one will be a bit lighter.
There really only was one story in the book with was following Holly's life although brief appearances by Ben and Giles were welcome. We didn't get to hear how the lives of the other characters were progressing which I missed.
I dont know if I read this quickly or the book was shorter than usual but I read it in a few hours.
I do love Hannah's books and will be looking forward to the next one.

Having loved the first book I didn’t even read the description, I just dove right in……….. well I bloody loved it, altho wasn’t expecting the turn of events and I will admit reading it was hard as went through similar my self not so long ago. It was a page turner, fastest I have read a book in a long time, and Sophie didn’t disappoint, this is only the second book I have read by her the first being second chance sweet shop. I will definitely e reading more

This was a little sad to read but it was so beautifully written with such sweet messages. The grieving process is different for everyone yet I believe everyone who has lost someone can relate to these characters so well.

Man, this one caught me by surprise! I didn't see the plot coming, but it was a beautiful reunion with old friends. As all of thenother stories in this series, I loved it. Beautiful prose, beautiful characters, and a beautiful message. I can't wait for the final book at the sweet shop!!

This book is amazing!! I cried more or less the entire way through this book and felt so so sorry for Holly. I loved the way Hannah brings these characters to life but also make them so relatable.

Firstly thank you Netgalley, Hannah Lynn and publisher for the opportunity to read this book. The settings in both UK and USA were beautiful, it was easy to read but I found it very sad. If you’re feeling a little low when reading it your going to need tissues. At the start I struggled with too many character names at once but it didn’t help that I have read no other titles in the series. It’s probably me but I couldn’t connect the storyline with the title of the book. With regards to grief it was very well written.

This book is book 2 in a series, and even though I haven't read book 1 yet, it hasn't been released. Evan decided to surprise his girlfriend Holly, and she didn't know it, but he was going to propose. When they arrived, they walked down to the beach, and there was a child out on the thin ice, and the child kept going out further. Evan went in to save him, and he didn't make it.
Holly decides to cancel Christmas and go to America, where Evan lived, and his family is there. She and her daughter, Hope, left England and arrived in America. It is emotional, the journey through the grief they have to start to go through, Life still goes on, and we see their struggles, their mistakes, their, coming together, to help each other, and the everyday things they must face. It was an emotional book, but also a book I couldn't stop reading. Even though this is a book 2, I could relate to the grieving, the process, and all they went through. I think it can be a standalone book, because the book starts with the people who are there, and tells their journey from there. It was meeting new friends for the first time, where they are in their journey.
I received an ARC from Boldwood Books through NetGalley.

A hard book , have the tissues ready . Carrying on with Hollies life journey. Didn’t connect with this book as much as I have the other ones in the series . An interesting read as we caught up with the other characters lives and the introduction of the American characters and I can see there’s going to be an interesting final book in the series but was disappointed with this book
Thank you to Netgalley, Boldwood Books and Hannah Lynn for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review

I feel like I really needed to have read the previous installment in this series as it seemed to just jump straight in. To be honest, I didn’t really enjoy the book, there was a quite a bit of misery, which is understandable given the circumstances, but it was just miserable but also felt a little childish. I have loved other books by this author so I’ll definitely try other books by her.

hadn't read the first book in this series so it was a bit difficult to understand. It would have been good to get a brief understanding of what had happened in the first book as to who the people were. It was a good book. Holly thinks that she's in a good place with Evan when tragedy happens

Snowflakes Over the Second Chances Sweet Shop was a sweet holiday rom com. I very much enjoyed it and I think other romcom readers will as well.
