I chose this for a cozy Christmas read. It started out cozy and quaint on a Scottish island. I was curled up with the novel, tea, and a fire to start the holiday season. I was on the island enjoying the author's imagery. The wrap up was not the anticipated cozy Christmas end. Overall, I didn't have a great Christmas feel.

- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This series is a delight, especially via audiobook. Such engaging characters, and a beautiful, quirky, unusual setting.

A charming audiobook read by someone with Scottish accent. What more could you ask during this season!

J’ai eu du mal à accrocher au début, c’était différent de ce que je lisais habituellement mais au final j’ai adoré ! Une bonne romance durant la période de Noël mais un peu longue à certains moments.

Christmas on the island by Jenny Colgan
Sounded like a good title and wanted to read this book as I've lived on an island during the holiday.
Narrater is from Scotland and has the accent to speak this book. Quite unique as I mostly listen to just English with no accents.
Story is set up about the location of the Scotland island and how life is during the cold dark winter days.
We find Flora has to tell her boss some serious news...There is a lot of talk about others as any island it's what keeps them going.
Highly sexually graphic. Enjoyed learning about others and their lives, the sex not so much.
Lots of twists and turns.
Recipes included.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
