The blurb:
Angela’s planning her very own
fairytale of New York…
• Enormous Christmas tree
• Eggnog
• Eccentric British traditions
• Gorgeous man
But Santa’s throwing her a few
curveballs – new job (as if it’s not mental enough already), new baby-craze
from her best friend Jenny, and Alex determined they should grow up and settle
down. Once friends start turning up uninvited on her doorstep (and leading her
astray), can Angela really have a merry little Christmas? So much for happy
holidays – something’s got to give…
My Opinion:
Angela is really in her element
when it comes to Christmas. However, it does not turn out the way she planned
it.
Louisa turns up unexpected, her parents want to visit over Christmas and
Alex finally wants to settle down. He buys them a house, so the stress already
starts with having to move in Christmas time, and how are they going to move
the Christmas tree?
Louisa has trouble in her married life and tries to escape it. Angela
has difficulties to find out why she came to NY and then wants to help Louisa,
but she is blocking.
And then there is Jenny of course. The drama between the three girls
creates new turns in the story all the times. They have such different
personalities and that’s not always a good thing. However, in the end I really
admired their friendship.
Alex and Angela have some real troubles and fights in this book. He
really wants to have a baby, but she doesn’t and there is more…
I still don’t like Angela not telling him everything. They way they take
after everything is so adorable though and again I love Alex being so caring
and cute. He exactly knows how to treat Angela and only wants the best for her.
This story is full of drama, a lot of funny incidents and Christmas of
course. The book really got my into the festive mood. Lindsey’s writing is so
sparkling and dynamic.
