OMG!!! This is the most heartwarming book I've ever read. So cozy, so loving and full of Christmas spirits I regret not discovering this author sooner. I suppose it's better late than ever
There 3 best friends called Claudia, Erica and Anna. It's about them finding a balance between live and love When I say it like that, it seems an ordinary romance book but it IS NOT. Let's not forget Hattie btw. She is one of the main characters in the book. While reading it, it is impossible not to feel the characters because they all have genuine feelings like envy, love, stress... Those feelings that they have are so genuine that I can't help myself putting in their shoes.
These best friend have a book club which happens once a year. They decide a book and book a hotel for a whole week. Then, when they meet, they not only discuss the book but also talk about themselves. Did I say they are all forty years old? Can you believe it? I've never read a book like that. There are young characters in every book I read. Never as old as they are in this book.
Normally, romance books are all about falling in love. However, this book evolves around not just love but also friendship, life problems, disappointments, expectations, jealousy, having boundaries against love, finding something you're passionate about... The characters not only find love but also build strong bonds. It's not just a romance book. It's a heartwarming story about friendship and love with a little Christmas Magic DEFINITELY READ IT AND THANK ME LATER
Since I read this book, I've been wondering about my forty. I want to have found a love like Hattie, to have founded our book club with my bestie, Faye, to have booked cosy cottages or inns for our book club meeting and to have been living in a small seaside town like
