A Christmas Wedding in the Cotswolds by Lucy Coleman
5.0
This is the second book in the series set in Aysbury, and although it could be read as a standalone because there are lots of references to things that happened in the previous book, Christmas at Lock Keeper’s Cottage, I would recommend that you read it because it’s also a lovely book. Lucy Coleman always seems to write lovely cosy reads filled with love and a little mystery.
It was lovely to return to the characters from the first book, but six months further along, and with a new addition to the friendship group. I think the strength in these stories is in the value of friendship and family and how friends can feel like family. The story begins in the summer with Immi feeling overwhelmed about their plans to have a Christmas wedding, as well as their fund-raising efforts to open a children’s play area in time for the Christmas children’s cruises. As time goes on Immi finds herself willing to give up control of the things she organises, and with her wedding too, especially as she feels so overwhelmed and un-bride like.
This was such a lovely festive read, with a wedding thrown in for good measure. It will have you feeling festive, and in need of a hot chocolate and a blanket. I found myself ordering festive wax melts after I finished reading this wonderful book, so perhaps some festive subliminal messaging at work, haha! Seriously though, this book will give you cosy festive vibes, filled with love, friendship and family.
