Deux nouvelles très mignonnes et qui font chaud au coeur. Tout ça dans l'esprit du Café de la Plage et de Noël ! Deux univers magnifiques réunis qui nous font du bien. Je me suis encore plus attaché à Evie et je suis très content de la suite de son histoire

A short, cute Christmas story.
Evie is given her aunt’s cafe when she passes and is trying to make Christmas special for her and her boyfriend Ed.
She pulls out some of her Christmas decor from the attic, trips while carrying it down, and accidentally breaks a Christmas angel from her aunt.
Things begin popping up unplanned, bad luck seems to linger. Evie can’t help but wonder if it’s because of the broken angel.
It ends on a happy note. Christmas was successful even if it wasn’t how Evie planned.
The story was cute. Felt unfinished in a way. Won’t be one I read again.

Maybe too obvious but it remains a good Christmas vibes book.

Retour au café du bonheur pour les fêtes de fin d’année et cette ambiance magique ! ✨
Quel bonheur de retourner à Carrawen Bay, chez Evie et son Café de la plage. Noël est enfin arrivé, après un été bien chargé.
Evie est décidée à tout donner pour son premier Noël en amoureux : décorations et ambiance romantique sont de la partie, mais pas que…Quand des invités surprises débarquent, le Noël rêvé d’Evie s’éloigne peu à peu.
Après avoir adoré Rendez-vous au café du bonheur, j’étais ravie de retrouver les personnages pour cette période de fêtes. C’est drôle, léger, j’en redemande !
J’ai dégusté ce moment de lecture chaleureux, gourmand et festif. Je me suis sentie enveloppée par l’ambiance chaleureuse du café d’Evie, j’ai refermé le livre le sourire aux lèvres.
En bref, armez-vous de votre plus beau plaid, d’une boisson chaude et savourez !

How lovely to revisit characters from The Beach Cafe in a Christmassy setting! I enjoyed this and it certainly got me into the Christmas spirit but I wish it had been longer. Most of the last quarter of the book is taken up with Christmas recipes and an excerpt from the author's new novel :(
Fingers crossed Lucy Diamond writes another sequel because I'd love to see Evie and Ed get engaged (although with his nightmare of an ex-wife maybe he's been put off marriage for life??)
