A review by hannahmariebrankley
The Christmas Book Club by Sarah Morgan
5.0
It’s a book about a book club. Of course, I bought it.
Erica, Claudia and Anna have this amazing friendship bond and they go on a book club holiday every year. This year, there was just so much going on in the summer, when they’d usually go. So, they decided on a Christmas trip.
But something is afoot. Erica, who isn’t your typical small-town getaway person, decides to book at Maple Sugar Inn. A cosy, small town, snowy location. Although it strikes as odd to Anna and Claudia, they don’t dig deep as to why Erica has chosen this inn.
Until they arrive at check-in, where Erica comes face-to-face with the owner, Hattie.
Hattie, who is recently widowed, is struggling to run the Maple Sugar Inn whilst juggling being a single mum, having a head chef with rage issues and fretting over an awkward romantic encounter with Noah. Her friend and the town’s ‘Christmas Tree Man’.
Over the week, secrets are revealed. Unspoken truths shake everything we come to know about the characters. And, the friends read a new book.
This is going to be so difficult to talk about without spoiling the big reason why Erica chose that location. I think it becomes clear as you read the first few chapters, but I like how it isn’t too obvious.
What I enjoyed most are the differences between the characters and yet, how well they gel together. I think it’s great to see how friendships can last, even when on different life paths.
I hadn’t read anything by Sarah Morgan before. This book was suggested when I ordered Christmas at Corgi Cove. Very happy I picked it up. I really like how Sarah describes the relationships between characters. 4.5 Stars.
