Book Description
Dawn Dixon can hardly believe she's on a groomless honeymoon on beautiful Cape Cod . . . with her mother. Sure, Marnie Dixon is good company, but Dawn was supposed to be here with Kevin, the love of her life (or so she thought).
Marnie Dixon needs some time away from the absolute realness of life as much as her jilted daughter does, and she's not about to let her only child suffer alone--even if Marnie herself had been doing precisely that for the past month.
Given the circumstances, maybe it was inevitable that Marnie would do something as rash as buy a run-down ice-cream shop in the town's tightly regulated historic district. After all, everything's better with ice cream.
Her exasperated daughter knows that she's the one who will have to clean up this mess. Even when her mother's impulsive real estate purchase brings Kevin back into her life, Dawn doesn't get her hopes up. Everyone knows that broken romances stay broken . . . don't they?
Welcome to a summer of sweet surprises on Cape Cod--a place where dreams just might come true.

Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. Here is my honest review.
Absolutely charming!
I adore Marnie and her positive outlook on life and ability to be spontaneous.
The Sweet Life is a look at a mother-daughter duo who undertake the rejuvenation of an ice cream shop in the vacation town of Cape Cod. It explores how we deal with grief and disappointment and finding a path forward through life when it doesn't go as planned.
I appreciate how Dawn wants security and predictability and is a perfectionist. She is able to see though that her attempts to control life - as she wants it - ultimately ended up causing it to crumble.
I absolutely can't wait for the next book in the series!
