loribreereads 's review for:
Christmas at Tiffany's
by Karen Swan
Read my review on my blog at http://palmerspageturners.blogspot.com/2015/01/review-christmas-at-tiffanys.html
I have mixed feelings about this book, but definitely more positive than negative. I loved the concept of the story, the three great cities as settings, and the theme of reinventing oneself. The story was charming, the characters likeable,and the book was entertaining. The main thing I didn't like about it was how long it was. I'll admit I almost stopped reading after the New York City section because I felt like it was dragging. However, all the great reviews of the book encouraged me to keep going, and I was super glad I did. Though predictable, I loved the ending.
Despite the cover and title implying it was a holiday read, it can certainly be read at times of the year other than Christmas. It takes place over the course of a year through the different seasons. I was fun to read during my holiday break but I would've enjoyed it any time of the year.
With the story spanning three cities, I could see this book working really well as a trilogy, which may have made the book not seem like it was dragging as much, but due to the genre, it was readable in a reasonable amount of time. Just be prepared to be reading it for awhile!
