 The Christmas Orphans Club is the story of four friends who always spend Christmas together in one unconventional way or another. I liked the way stories of Christmases past were interspersed with the story of Christmas present. I also liked the way the characters grew, and that Hannah especially came to accept that change doesn’t have to be bad. This book included some diversity in terms of race and sexuality which I appreciated. Although it featured a romance it was chiefly a story of friendship and found family, an emphasis I found refreshing.
