A review by bookmadjo
The Mother of All Christmases by Milly Johnson
5.0
Reading a book by Milly Johnson is like riding a rollercoaster whilst wrapped in a snuggly throw, holding a hot drink in one hand and a book in the other. This book is no exception, I experienced a gamut of emotions from cover to cover. I laughed, I cried, there was intrigue, and drama, death and babies. The title comes from the three main characters, three women who become friends when they join an antenatal group called The Christmas Pudding Club, where all the members are expecting their babies around Christmas.
Interspersed throughout the story were excerpts from a local newspaper, The Daily Trumpet, notorious within the story for having a reputation for unfortunate typos. The excerpts were corrections to articles, and were absolutely hilarious. I laughed out loud so much reading those, some articles relating to the characters within the book, and some completely unrelated. It was a charming addition to a wonderful story, and complemented the book to perfection. I will be buying this book on November 15th 2018 to add to my collection.
I was given this book via Netgalley and Simon & Schuster in exchange for an honest review.
