There was a lot going on in this book.
I loved the mountaineering aspects in the book. I loved hearing about the FMC’s experience as a climber. I also loved all the pieces of Norwegian culture and traditional sprinkled throughout the text. It made it so atmospheric having those cultural aspects in the story. There’s a glossary in the back and recipes to help solidify these cultural and traditional holiday foods and activities which is an excellent feature.
I also loved that it is set up like an advent calendar, where there’s a chapter for each day of December leading up to Christmas.
The storyline has some cheesy, cringey moments in it, but that doesn’t really bother me in holiday stories.
This one is kind of all over the place; there’s a lot of things going on. I think it would have been better if it focused more on one or two side stories rather than all of the ones mentioned.
Overall I think it’s a nice holiday read. The daily advent chapters made it easy to keep going and if you like learning about other cultures you’ll love this book!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC!
