Book Review
*I was kindly gifted a copy of this book in exchange for taking part in this blog tour, but all opinions remain my own.
I’ve read the previous book in this series by Rosie Green and I knew I wanted to read this one too. I thought that it sounded like a cute festive romance book to read.
The main character we follow is Katja and all of the chapters are from her perspective. I enjoyed following Katja and learning more about her. We had already got a glimpse into her relationship in the previous book I’d read.
Although this is a short story, there was lots happening throughout. I personally would’ve liked to have a little more romance happening in the book between the two main characters… However, the plot itself was interesting enough to keep me intrigued. There was an air of mystery regarding the MMC from quite early on but I like how the story developed to finding out the root of it towards the end.
Due to so much happening throughout, the pace was good all the way through. I was happy with how the story ended and although it was predictable, it was a cute way to end this novel.
This book takes place during the lead-up to Christmas, and although it’s a festive read, I appreciated that it doesn’t shove the Christmas aspects down my throat. I enjoyed the wintery vibes I was getting from it whilst reading. I was glad though that it wasn’t too cheesy in terms of the Christmas elements.
Although this book is quite deep into an on-going series, it didn’t feel like you would have to read all the others before getting to this one. The author did a great job of mentioning who the characters were. If you are someone like me who hasn’t read all the other previous books, you still get an understanding of who everyone is.
I think this book was an enjoyable one to read for this time of year!
