This book was meh for me. I read it in the beginning but then had to listen to it on super speed audio because book club crept up on me. I think the narration made the characters sound kind of pompous. I loved the kids, and their dialogue so that was a saving factor. It was a little slow for me but cozy and Christmasy themed. Definitely a book version of a hallmark movie.
Looked cute for Christmas. The main character grew on me and had good development. The love interests just weren't there for me. They didn't feel right. Heartwarming family times and finding one's passion. Overall worth the read, but not a new favorite.

Delightful and heartwarming. Like a warm cup of tea or a hug. I loved everything about this book. You are transported between the pages. Definitely a must read for lovers of the magic of Christmas and books.

not very christmassy. I did not like the magical realism that happened in the last part of the book.

A cozy Christmas novel. I'm not sure if ever really snows in Edinburgh, but the scenery felt very cosy. And made me want to walk around in the snow and drink loads of hot chocolate.
The story is a bit too much for me. Some things simply didn't make any sense.
Overall, all Jenny Colgans novels have more or less the same plot. There's obviously nothing wrong with that, but it does get a bit boring after a while.

The love triangle was a bit tiresome and there were some other bits thrown in that didn’t seem fully developed BUT the epilogue is the reason for rounding up to 4 stars. So dang touching.
