A review by amibunk
Christmas on the Island by Jenny Colgan

3.0

I thought that this was the sequel to The Summer Seaside Kitchen, however it is the third book in the series. Despite that, it wasn't a hard jump to know what was happening as the same characters were at the core of the book.
I definitely enjoyed being immersed in the world of Mure island again. That fictional place and its characters are as comfortable as they were in the first book, but a bit of the charm was missing. The writing was rougher in spots, the relationships between the characters were a bit more trite. The ending was a bit too neat in some parts and a bit unfinished in others. Everything had the faint air of an older Harlequin Romance novel.
Still, I thought it was a good read, especially if you are looking for a gentle romance with a few tears along the way.
