The Mother of All Christmases by Milly Johnson
5.0
Quite a few people have told me that I need to read a Milly Johnson Christmas book as they are so good. When I noticed that Scribd had a few available I decided to give it a try. I jumped into this one, not realising it was part of a series. You can read it as a standalone but there may be a few spoilers from the previous book, not that that will stop me from trying out them out.
The story follows three new, expectant mothers and their different journeys through pregnancy. We have Eve, who isn’t sure how she feels about being pregnant but throws herself into planning the renewal of her vows three days before she’s due! For Annie this pregnancy is a dream come true. After years of trying and failing to get pregnant she thought her window of opportunity was coming to an end. Finally we have Palmer who finds herself pregnant with a baby she didn’t want after the surrogacy falls through.
All three of these women meet at the local Christmas Pudding Club, a club for expecting mothers and they instantly hit it off. I really enjoyed following their different stories and whilst I had predicted a few of the things that would happen I did find myself surprised on more than one occasion. I hadn’t expected to find this so emotional but it definitely brought me to tears numerous times and had me reminiscing about my own pregnancy journeys.
Filled with a whole cast of characters to love, this festive treat was a dream come true. Aside from the pregnancy stories there were plenty of other dramas along the way. We had the cracker factory, Palmer and Tommy as well as the mysterious happenings at Winterworld. I shall be listening to more books by Milly Johnson and adding them to my collection.
