What you need to know before your trail

Marnie Appleton inherits a sweet shop from her grandfather and she’s determined to do his legacy proud. The shop has been a much-loved feature of the little seaside town of Shipley for years, but now it needs a bit of modernistion, tender loving care. Enter : gorgeous new assistant Josh

Marnie gets busy redecorating the shop and choosing delicious new sweets to stock, but things are never that simple: new neighbour Isobel, a fame-hungry blogger, is on a crusade against sugar, and she’ll go to any lengths to secure bad publicity for Marnie’s shop.

Marnie has a lot on her plate but she fights back like no one else. Not everthing in life can have a sugar coating it would seem. And what about Josh? Can a girl really have her sugar coated cup cake and eat it?

Will both the sweet shop and love flourish?

Travel Guide

Travel to Shipley BookTrail style (fictional but set in Dorset)

Fictional but set somewhere on the Dorset cast where thousand of tourists flock to every year but where Doris Day wouldn’t have chosen to move to apparently. There’s all sorts in this sweet shop – from those pineapple cubes to licorice willies. Could it be somewhere stunning like Westport for example?

People like that the sweet shop has a history and the shop is here pride and joy
