Shy Amber finds love and self confidence whilst decorating a run down village shop. Light and frothy! (

I am always falling for those illustrated covers. I like the book, but sometimes I want something from the story. I don't say it is a bad contemporary plot; the characters are lovable, but they didn't feel appealing to me. And the feeling showed the time that it took me to read the book. There were days that I will read two chapters because I have made a habit to read on my kindle every day.
The first half is redundant. It was obvious the characters were lonely, depressed, and unhappy. I don't know if the same points about their unhappiness and the store's state needed to be reiterated for half of a book.
The thing that I liked about the book is the way that Josh and Amber revived the little town. There is a situation that happens that makes the changes the way people think and unjust to nature. But, unfortunately, there was barely any romance until the end. There was so much potential for them to fall in love, and I’m a little disappointed that the story wasn’t able to live up to it. (

Ready for a shopping jaunt to a charming English village shop? Then "The Village Shop for Lonely Hearts" is your cuppa! After her New York job ends, Amber plans a short stay to visit with her godmother in Cranbridge, but her stay lengthens as she makes new friends and finds purpose in the little English village. With her new partner Josh, Amber transforms the sad little shop into a cheerful and welcoming place, drawing in the villagers and neighboring farmers and crafters. When tragedy threatens the village, residents work together to help and support each other, and the shop becomes a haven for many of the "lonely hearts". As you might expect, love is always in the offing!

Although sadness prevails at the outset, this novel soon draws in the reader, inviting one to mentally step inside the shop and view its transformation. Hearts are uplifted and friendships develop as autumn turns towards the winter holidays. The characters are realistic and readers can identify with their emotions and thoughts. The village setting provides a fitting backdrop, just like a pretty but dusty canvas, as the action plays out to reveal true hidden colors and nuances. This is truly a novel that will lead readers to recall the goodness within people.

I received this novel from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own. (
