A Christmas Gift by Sue Moorcroft
4.0
This is another from my library pile after the poop year we have had I picked up some Christmas books to get me into the spirit. However, this isn't an uplifting, romance, perfect Christmas. This story focuses on the production of a play and an old friend (Joe) returning from the past. The story also includes talks of debt and ballifs so not all that festive of a read for me.
However, it was a brilliant story and I really enjoyed it, it just wasn't what I expected at first. The story all comes together towards the end where it does turn into a proper Christmas, happy, successful story. The play is going ahead and fantastic. While we learn all about Joe and his secret life he wanted to keep hidden... Intriguing. An easy read. Different from the 'normal' Christmas stories. A little bit of romance towards the end.
A well deserved four stars from me. I would recommend! You've got to remember life still goes on at Christmas and many people struggle and don't like it and that's included in this story. Ballifs don't stop for the festive period and neither does debt.
