 5 Word Review: Family, belonging, Christmas, comedy, belonging.

Christmas at Snowflake Lodge was a massive amount of fun, and perfect for the season.

Reading this kind of felt like watching a Hallmark film, in the best of ways. Even the cover has that feel about it. Christmas at Snowflake Lodge has a bit of everything, and it is very entertaining.

I know it says right there in the blurb that Jessica's lodger Doreen is a nightmare... But honestly that's holding back. She is a vile person and so freaking selfish. I was so glad that Jessica was able to escape from her for a bit, although I wouldn't trust Doreen as far as I could throw her when it comes to the state she'd get the place. RIP Jessica's flat.

Jessica is an excellent character - I loved her outlook on life and how she fell into her profession. I also loved the chance she took on the unassuming Kirsten, who wants to learn and question everything (even if it is in a flat tone).

As someone who has recently stayed in an old remote hotel in Scotland, it made me want to go back so badly. The settings really come to life with Jessica's sense of humour, whether it's a comment on a phone box (in London) or a quip about the toilets (anywhere).

This book is perfect for fans of The Summer Job, we have the same (albeit much more capable) hotel work/life antics.

I had so much fun reading Christmas at Snowflake Lodge, and I will definitely be reading more by this author.
