Again, Africa is a continent.

Also, the whole blast from the past subplot was highly implausible. But cute nonetheless.

I adore Jenny Colgan. ( )

What a heartwarming book this was. I really enjoyed reading it. A worthy read ( )

Just didn’t love this follow up. I see a lot of people calling this a romantic comedy, but I thought the romance and comedy were sorely lacking. Not for me. ( )

Story of love lost and then found again. Set in England, Rosie Hopkins is prepping for a white Christmas. She is settling in with Stephen, and trying to navigate a rocky relationship with his mother. Then, tragedy strikes the small town, and children are injured.

Rosie and Stephen have a rough patch, and Rosie is resigned to believe that they will never marry. Christmas brings a pleasant surprise to all.
Cute story, just OK for me. ( )
