A review by harrietrose98
The Mother of All Christmases by Milly Johnson
4.0
This is a long book, especially considering that it is a holiday themed romance. But it was really sweet and emotional. A lot of sensitive issues were addressed and it was done well. I felt quite attached to the characters.
I nearly gave this only a 3 star because I didn't really enjoy Effin's storyline and I felt like the plot point involving Clint seemed unrealistic and a bit soap opera-esque. I also felt like some of the descriptions of the characters and their situations fell slightly into stereotypes and prejudices. However, the ending pulled it back for me and I ended up enjoying it a lot more.
I don't think I was really the target audience for this book - I am not a mother, have not been and am not currently pregnant, and am not planning to be any time soon. Those are really the groups of people that this book would be best aimed at I think, as it would be a far more emotional and relatable read!
