Four Christmases and a Secret by Zara Stoneley

4.0

I didn’t read the blurb before saying yes to this tour! I love love love Zara Stoneley books.

This one follows Daisy and Ollie’s relationship. From a brief snog under some mistletoe through relationships or lack of. The highlight of the year is Uncle T’s Christmas parties.

I loved all the main characters except Tim and Frankie. I don’t know why I disliked Frankie, but she grated on me a bit. It seems that was justified towards the end, but no secrets now, you can all find out for yourselves.

Daisy did it for me, in the beginning she came across as a woman that couldn’t make up her mind. She was in one sense, an in-betweener, she was inbetween everything. Deciding on a job she loved, no relationships just a best friend and a dog she was fostering. But one Christmas she decides to change everything. By the end of the book, she was a very strong independent woman that knew exactly what she wanted and she had no hesitations in going for what she wanted.

This was a beautifully written book, with humour, sadness and you can smell Christmas flowing out the book, holly, spices, cinnamon, just Christmas in general. I loved it! Bring on the next!
