This book was just pure feel good Christmas romance and hilarity.
Despite having not read the first one, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and witnessing Jake and Emma's relationship blossom, I enjoyed the town and all the characters I'm sure we were introduced to in the first one. I will definitely keep my eyes open for the next one!
I do have one question that remains though: Who does that elf belong to?

This was such a fun read - charming, warm, but not your typical meet cute. A hopeful story about grief and how to move forward, individually and as a community. I'm glad I picked it up.

Sweet and cosy romance in Gilmore Girls-esque town. Predictable but also very heartfelt at times.

it is such a bad feeling when you write a bad review of a book that everyone, literally everyone likes but indeed that has happened to me in this case. well BAD is quite a big word , it was nice. yeah, just our old plain and simple NICE.
yes, it was a sweet chick-lit with some laughing moments but it really didn't fit my type of romcoms.
everyone is saying "it was so sweet and nice", "perfect for a chick time.", " loved it" reviews but trust me ladies there are better rom-coms that are available than this like, bet me or temptation land(or something else, i don't remember the proper name) by Jennifer cruise or some any other writer.
The story is nothing complicated just a pair being in rivalry to buy the clock house for their own different purposes of setting businesses with many side characters and drama. i think the main problem was of it's length, it could've been easily edited to 100 page short.
all in all, it has a greater chance that you are probably going to read it based on it's fantastic reviews and you may like it like the others as it is good if you are reading something from this genre for the first time.. but over the time i guess you'll find many other great reads that is if you keep on reading this genre.

I picked it up for the adorable cover. I stayed for the romantic comedy full of quirky characters and set in the quaint English village. I loved it for making me believe there is hope and happiness on the other side of grief and for giving me a quaint English village to escape the reality of now. I am looking forward to reading the next book which takes place in the village of Whispers Wood during the holiday season. For once I am timing it perfectly to get into the Christmas spirit.

It was super cute and I had tears in my eyes through all the second half. I loved Emma’s character so so much ❤️ and Britis authors really have a different vibe that seems a great fit for me! Really enjoyed the humour too, as well as the small village and winter atmospheres !
