I genuinely enjoyed "The Christmas Cottage” thanks to Sarah Morgan's beautifully descriptive scene setting. The setting captures the stunning scenery and cosy atmosphere that perfectly captures the magic of the holiday season. The vivid descriptions of the surroundings make it easy to visualise the charming cottage nestled amidst a winter wonderland. The story was captivating and heartwarming, providing a sense of nostalgia and joy that resonates deeply during this time of year. However, I wished for a bit more depth in the character development. Some characters had intriguing backstories that could have added richness to their arcs, helping readers connect with them on a deeper level. The conclusion was a little flat for my preferences, leaving me with lingering questions about the characters' resolutions and relationships. I eagerly wanted to know more about their journeys and how they navigated their challenges. Overall, "The Christmas Cottage" was a delightful read that left me with a sense of warmth and holiday cheer, and I can't help but feel that exploring the characters' experiences in greater detail would have enhanced the magical atmosphere and left an even stronger impression.

This is about reconnecting with family. A bit like the previous year's "The Christmas Book Club", one side knows what's going on and the other doesn't, with the result that the reveal is explosive. The meet-cute one might expect in a romance doesn't happen until more than halfway through. Like many of Sarah Morgan's books, I found this to be a story to sit down and read in one sitting. I don't like "unhappy compulsion" passages and this starts off that way but it is worth working through that beginning to get to the good bit.

I do like a book with a festive vibe around Christmas. Found this one overly twee and a bit unbelievable. No explanation as to how Dorothy knew who Imogen was. What were the chances of Dorothy happening across the marketing firm where Imogen worked? That said, I did finish the book, though I agree with other reviewers about the American spellings - theater, cozy, realized etc. Also, wouldn't have hurt to tie up a few loose ends, eg. what happened with Tine?

This book had me hooked from start to finish and what a journey it took me on in between. This story started off with us meeting Imogen, honestly I wasn’t sure how to take her at first but I knew there was a back story to why she acted how she did. She was stand offish, but what a beautiful person she was once her walls were broken down. This girl did not have an easy upbringing and her mother was a real piece of work, I really felt sorry for her poor girl and so happy her life changed. Next up we met Dorothy and what an absolute gem of a woman she was, she was so kind and caring and someone that you would be lucky enough to have in your life. Loved her a lot. Imogen really liked Dorothy, she was there for Imogen when life got tough and changed her life completely. I don’t want to spoil the storyline but you are in for such a treat with these two women. I absolutely adored this book, and couldn’t put it down. It was heartwarming, full of joy, had the most beautiful setting filled with wonderful characters and a brilliant storyline. The perfect Christmas read, definitely add this to your December TBR.
