A great Christmas themed contemporary, a nice mix of drama and fun with loveable characters, has a happily ever after which gave me all the feels
Det kan siges meget kort, den fangede mig bare ikke
3,5 Sterne.
An sich hat mir das Buch gut gefallen, aber mitgerissen hat es mich leider nicht. Ich mochte die Charaktere gerne und fand es schön zur Entspannung ihre Geschichte zu lesen, aber ich kann nicht sagen, wie lange ich noch daran erinnern werde. Und Weihnachtsstimmung hat es mir irgendwie auch nicht vermittelt.
Für ein paar gemütliche Lesestunden kann ich es trotzdem empfehlen. :)

Loved the characters
Typical chic lit romance, following the bones of a thousand others before it. I quite enjoyed it, absolutely perfect brain candy for this strange in between time of Christmas and the new year.

Absolute feel good book! Loved the characters and the plot was great. Loved the whole special Christmas and had a few tears in my eyes! Look out for that final chapter, it was lovely.

Ava is a struggling milliner living with her friend Izzy in Camden Town. Her uber-successful parents have retired and run a quaint bookshop in France. Her lack of money has made Ava very careful about accepting anything, even from friends, because she can't reciprocate. Izzy and their other friend Tod invite her to their work's Christmas drinks party at a local pub where she meets their boss Sam. Sam owns a PR and marketing agency called Jermyn's which looks after a number of sports stars and other celebrities.
Sam asks Ava to make a hat for his mother who has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and the two of them grow closer. But Ava's ex-boyfriend is not happy at being dumped and tries to blackmail her. Just as her professional life is looking up, could her personal life jeopardise everything?
Set in London (with a short trip to Middledip) at first I found it hard to get into a Sue Moorcroft book set in the city but soon I was totally engrossed in the Sam and Ava romance, enjoying the brushes with minor celebs and worrying about Sam's mum.
A great Christmas story

Ava Bliss is a milliner, she's struggling to make ends meet in the run up to Christmas. Her ex-boyfriend is harassing her and she's generally feeling rather rubbish about everything. What she needs is a large commission and someone to sort out her ex.
While I enjoyed this story quite a lot and it touched on some quite heavy subjects (actual, real, harassment from an ex-boyfriend in quite a nasty manner), I am at this point starting to get quite jaded with Chicklit. I should have known better when I embarked on this Chicklit Christmas themed month that I would be reading stories where the woman finds herself with a problem and a man comes along to sort it out. I know I shouldn't read these kinds of novels if I have an issue with that message. That's my issue and not a reflection of this author or this novel.
If you enjoy Chicklit, then this is a good one. It has an important message about not putting up with harassment in any shape or form and that said harassment is not a reflection on you. Ava's problems only started to get resolved when she talked about them and I believe that's a good message for a novel.
