Stay Sweet

Lingers like the last bite of a sweet treat.

I love this book so much. The language, relationships, dynamics, female secret business powerhouses, and self discovery. I really liked watching the development of the characters in the same work environment, it showed how each character was unique, yet tied to the same beloved place. The juxtaposition with Amelia and Molly in their lives. The dynamic in the stand and the girls was perfect. Cate and the pin were the cherry on top for me.
I don't like how many modern YANA romances are tied up with a happy ending, I want a little more hopeful realism than sugary sweet glitter that curdles. This is a great example of how there are so many more important relationships than just a guy. There are so many ways to forge a path for yourself and still stay sweet.

A Nice Summary Read

So this book was a nice summary read, it was so simple and drama free and I liked the atmosphere with the Ice cream stand and the girls friendship in there, it made me nostalgic to things in my own high school days, the simple story was fluffy and the romance was nice .. but nothing was really happening in the book .. up until the end ..
I liked Amelia as a main character and her relationship with Grady is also nice and simple but I wish if it was all about Molly and her story how she opened the stand, it would've been much more interesting to me
overall if you're looking for a quick read on the beach to waste some time this is the perfect thing for you :)

The narration is also nice and I like how she says the name of the flavors of the Ice Creams .. it makes me want an Ice cream from Meads Creamery :D

Stay Sweet

I'm not usually one for a romantic summer story but I really like this one. I hope there is a sequel coming out. I enjoyed listening to this while I would eat ice cream or being outside with my dogs. My favorite character is Katie, I'm not sure why but I can relate to her a lot. I always wished I could work at an ice cream stand so I was happy to listen to a book about teenagers working at an ice cream shop. The book has good characters and I like how it followed the main character Amelia and how you can hear her thoughts through out listening to the book. Bailey Carr is a good narrator and helped me get into the book quickly. I'm going to give Siobhan Vivian other books a listen. I'm curious to see if they will be as good as this one. I found out about this book through someone on youtube and I'm glad I gave it a listen. I'm going to defiantly listen to this book again either this summer or next summer.

Good summer story

The story was fun, not as epic as could have been possible, but definitely worth a credit. Love the dynamics of the characters; it was a bit predictable, but overall a good book. The narrator isn't bad and has good vocal distinctions for the characters, but has a weird puff/sigh thing after sentences, especially sentences spoken by the two main female characters. It's a little annoying, but isn't constant and she is a good reader nonetheless. This book isn't earth-shattering, but it ended well and was a fun setting.
