My Opinion:
What a
beautiful and adorable collection of short stories. Every single one of them
was so special and had it’s own spark. I’ll say a few words about all of them.
Carolyn
Ridder Aspenson’s story is magical, shimmering and so cute. Jess and Jack seem
so real and their connection is amazing. What a cute and brilliantly written
story.
I love the
idea of „Christmas Lights“ , I would have loved to read a whole book about it.
Especially about how the relationship of the main characters developed. For me
the story was a little to short, but still sweet and inspiring.
The message
of Francine LaSala’s story is wonderful. I loved to read about Izzy and
especially about Ollie. He’s such a charismatic character and it is amazing
what he did for Izzy, every woman would wish for a guy like that. Such a
gripping and great writing.
Spinster
Christmas, that sounded really interesting and it was. I loved the story around
Cara and Ronan, it had such much spark, energy, love and glimmer. I enjoyed every
second of reading it and the writing was brilliant. I dived into this stories,
never wanting to get out again.
I could
relate to Cara instantly and that made it so easy to understand her.
Holly
Martin’s story is full of magic and surprises. I liked reading about little
Poppy and her mum and it was fun to see how the story developed. Such a cute
tale, which leaves open, places for your own imagination.
Last but
not least, the Mermaid with its two lovely characters who meet again after the
wish of a lost one. An emotional, fascinating and moving read with lots of
charm and charisma.
This book was definitely worth all
the pennies and I can only highly recommend it to you. I guarantee you’ll fall
in love with this cute little stories, the perfect Christmas read. <3 <3
