A Nightingale Christmas Wish by Donna Douglas

3.0

I requested this book from Netgalley on the basis that I love Call the Midwife and I imagined it would be similar to that. I'm happy to say I wasn't disappointed and it did have rather a lot of similarities.

There were quite a lot of slow points in this plot, but luckily they didn't last a lot of pages so it is an easy to read book, you won't get too bored of it too fast, and to be honest the book feels a lot shorter than it really is, I was shocked to see how many pages this book actually has.

The story, whilst not overly festive, is very charming. Especially for fans of, like I said before, Call the Midwife (both the book series and the TV adaptation) whom I'm sure will love it just like I did. The characters are very likable, and you find yourself becoming intrigued by them and their personal lives, especially those of the nurses who aren't such a leading role in the story. I'm intending to buy the rest of the series in the new year when I have the money to and I'm very much looking forward to it.

Would very much recommend this book to fans of Call the Midwife and Pam Weaver.

I rated this book 3 stars on Goodreads.

This book was given to me in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own and are in no way affected by the author or publisher.
