5 Word Review: Family, community, love, Christmas, friendship.

The Country Village Christmas Show by Cathy Lake has all of the drama and antics you'd expect from an actual village show, and as someone who has lived in a village all her life it really hit the mark. It took a while to get in to, but after a few chapters the story flowed really well and was easy to read.

I really enjoyed the themes of community and friendship, it was very heart-warming and uplifting. I wouldn't say it's a romance, even if there are some romantic elements. It's more of a small village caper as a woman whose life has been turned upside down find herself again.

I don't think I warmed as much to Clare as I could have but that's because she was outshone by Goliath. This giant dog really stole the scene and I would like to be dragged through a hedge by him.

Although it took me a while to get in to, I ultimately really enjoyed The Country Village Christmas Show by Cathy Lake, and it got me very much into a festive mood.
