The story follows Clare, a recent divorcee whose son has moved out, who decides to move back in with her mum in an idyllic little British village and throws her all into running the village Christmas show.
I'm not going to lie - moving to a quiet, quaint village and being surrounded by all the Christmas magic sounds the dream right about now.
I found this a really enjoyable read - it's not an overly complicated book so it was perfect for picking up here and there when I just needed some light-heartedness in my day.
The characters are all likeable - you really do find yourself wanting Clare to find herself and to be happy. It was also a nice change to read about someone who wasn't the typical 20 something year old in romance books.
The language is descriptive throughout (maybe sometimes a bit too much) but it gives you a wonderful snowy and Christmas vibe.
Although there is a romance within the book - the real focus is the importance of family and local community. Overall, a pleasant and cosy read!
