I adored this short story follow-up to The Nothing Girl! It was funny and sweet and heartwarming, all in just 40 pages. Marilyn was the star of the show, but she would not recommend bath time. 😂
This was a quick and lovely read (I can't believe it was free!) Due to it's length, there isn't the biggest plot ever obviously, but what was there was executed well and I enjoyed this story of a local nativity.
The characters in this were shaped really well (especially for a short story) and I couldn't have been happier with the voice reading the piece, as she kept the reader engaged throughout, in my opinion.
This piece probably deserves 5 stars, but I just felt like there could have been more plot, though I do think that a basic plot worked well with this story as it is clearly a story mainly focused on characterization (my favourite) therefore I would probably give this a 4.5 star rating. I don't think it's the most important or memorable book of our time, but I do think it was beautifully written and a very good pick me up, hence my rating.

Usual excellent story from an exceptional writer.
She can't write a bad story! This was short and I always wish for more. I hope Jodi writes another story about this family. I love her time-travel books but she writes so well about ordinary! life.

So this is heavy on the holiday sugar, just keep that in mind before reading. Apparently, this is a follow-up short story to the novel The Nothing Girl, which I haven't read. I wasn't lost though Thomas was a bit of a nice surprise.
You can see this as a better end Hallmark movie. But there is a wonderful sense of humor in here, I mean laugh out loud. If you like All Creatures or Dr Martin or Ballykissangel, you should enjoy this.
Note- I purchased this for free. It is still currently free.

Have you ever tried to put a donkey in the bath? Made me laugh and cry in equal amounts. A great epilogue to The Nothing Girl.
