If you're looking for a thought-provokint, heartwarming, heartbreakint, uplifting, hope filled, festive read. With a whole host of romance tropes like grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, forced proximity, and a healthy splash of hope, forgiveness, will they/won't they, grief, loss, love, family, friendship, community, festive cheer and a ticket to countries like Spain, Italy, Poland, Austria, France and beyond. Then, Home Again For Christmas is for you!

Emily is an excellent storyteller and having read and loved all of her previous books. I can safely say that she has become one of my favourite festive authors. Who never fails to tug at my heartstrings and make me cry!

I absolutely lived every element of the storyline. Which is really dynamic. With brilliant pace, excellently written and relatable characters. Who all had a perfect part to play in the message that Emily was trying to portray. Something that Emily has consistently in all of her story's, is purpose, meaning, inspiration, and hope. Whilst giving you all perspectives of the characters and relationship dynamics  that they have with each other. Making it a really personal setting in which to read. Drawing you in. Chewing you up and spitting you out the other side feeling like you've been embraced in a warm yet emotional hug with a renewed sense of purpose and hope. 

If you haven't discovered Emily yet and love a feel-good festive romance with all of the essential ingredients tucked within its pages. I'd definitely recommend adding her books to your tbr. 

I can't wait for the next one!
