The back cover of this book makes this statement, “Not everything is as sweet as it appears in this wickedly delicious reimagining of Hansel and Gretel.”Jackson Pearce has done an excellent job of doing just that....reimagining. Sweetly starts out very similar to Hansel and Gretel. The story is familiar, but truly unique as it redefines the witch.
Ansel and Gretchen lose their sister in the woods, and no one believes them when they tell them a witch is to blame. Over the years they continue to experience hardship, losing their mother and their father. When Gretchen turns 18 and Ansel 19, their step-mother asks them to leave.
Driving as far away from the forest that has haunted them their whole life, they set out across country towards the beach. When their car breaks down in a small town, the siblings find themselves working at Sophia Kelly’s chocolatier.
