My review

In Haven Bridge there is one store that will know exactly what you need. Miss Moonshine’s Wonderful Emporium may seem like a chaotic store, but once you take a step inside, you are welcomed by Miss Moonshine herself and her Chihuahua Napoleon.
Each customer is a special customer in Miss Moonshine’s eyes and she has the ability to find the exact thing you need, even if it’s not what you actually want…

My first thoughts before reading this lovely book were “Will I like all the nine short stories? “ and also “Will the pace not be too fast?”
But I should have not worried! I know already a few of these authors and knew what they are capable of, and the new authors were just as surprising!

I didn’t know Miss Moonshine before, so I was a bit sceptical, and I surely do not believe in magic. But I quickly took a liking to her, and I wanted to visit her Emporium myself, and would be curious to see what Miss Moonshine would find for what I needed.

After finishing the first story, I had the bar set really high, because I truly loved it. I thought I already had found my favourite short story. But then I read the second and I just loved it as much as the first one. So the bar was set even higher for Story Number 3. But Story Number 3 was ALSO as lovely and beautiful so I added Number 3 also on the list of my favourite short story.
Can you already see a pattern here? Because yes, in the end all nine stories captured a little piece of my heart! And I honestly cannot say which one I prefer!

Each story is different, all the characters are facing problems of their own. But Miss Moonshine and love are the main protagonists in each story.
Even if Miss Moonshine is a bit odd, it’s impossible not to like her! She has her own ways of managing things, and it surely has a wonderful, lovely result each time!

I just devoured each short story, happy with how each of them ended, but also wanting to read just more and more!
And if you think you can put it away after finishing just one story, believe me when I say it’s a lost cause!
