A Cosy Christmas at Bridget's Bicycle Bakery by Alex Brown
4.0
Happy publication day Alex Brown! 4/5 stars!
This is my first Alex Brown book and she does such a good job talking about grief, loss and starting over. Not only that, it is set in the beautiful Mulberry-On-Sea, during the Christmas season. She paints the portrait of a quaint seaside town perfectly, so much so, that I could picture myself there, enjoying the winter.
Bridget was a well developed character, who, although, in her own grief over the loss of her husband suddenly a year ago, is trying to keep it together for her children and figure out how to make ends meet. Not only is Bridget a great character, the other people in the book are so true and genuine. Jack, the love interest, is a sweet guy, who is gentle and patient with Bridget. Even more, he has no expectation that Bridget be "over" her husband, but rather hold him in her heart and embrace new chances.
I enjoyed this novel, but found it predictable at times. I am excited to check out more books by Alex Brown! I received a copy of this from NetGalley and the publisher for an open and honest review. All opinions are 100% mine.
