A beautiful story about family, love, friendship and ambition, set during Christmas time in Edinburgh.
This is one of those books that you read and immediately feel a sense of comfort and cozyness. From a personal perspective, this book had all the ingredients to please me: it is set in one of my favorite cities, during a Christmas which is my fav holiday and it follows the day to day life of a bookstore.
Carmen was a good FMC despite some slightly unthought-out attitudes and decisions, she had great development and I loved getting to the end of the book and seeing the relationship that Carmen created with Phoebe, Oke and Mr. McCreddie. On the opposite pole, Pippa and Skylar were probably the most annoying characters and the ones I identified with the least.
All in all, an excellent and cozy book to read during Christmas.
