Narration style was not working for me

Very Christmassy, very hygge, not very romancey, and I feel the need to lecture the lead character on basic living skills and interpersonal relationships so... there ya go. Do with that what you will.

Edinburgh, Christmas, bookshop, family… such a sweet read!
relaxing medium-paced

Loved it! A perfect Christmas story. Characters that grew and grew on you. Relationships that change and bloom. A lovely story for the holidays.

I have absolutely loved reading The Christmas Bookshop that I struggled to put it down. Having read many books by Jenny Colgan this book does not disappoint. If you want a cosy feel-good Christmas book then I can’t recommend this enough!

Ohh I loved it couldn't put it down.
