A review by beccajbooks
Always, in December by Emily Stone
4.0
This one is an absolutely rollercoaster.
Don't go into it thinking it's a cosy holiday romance with a happily ever after at the end. It's not. That's not to say you won't like it - I loved it - but don't start it with the wrong impression because it might hamper your enjoyment.
We've got Josie, a 30 year old pa assistant who's just been cheated on by her boyfriend and is about to be made redundant from her job. And then we've got Max, a brooding grump, stranded in London over Christmas because his plane has been delayed. When Josie bumps into Max, literally, an unexpected festive whirlwind romance ensues. Suffice to say, it doesn't quite go to plan and we spend the rest of the book doing the usual will-they-won't-they. Then the end happens.....
So I loved this book as soon as I started it. It's so Christmassy and festive and lovely. When it got to the New York part I lost a little bit of interest but they were soon back in the UK and I was immediately back into the book. It's heart-warming and heart-breaking. It's frustrating and lovely. You'll laugh and you'll cry. But like I say, if you want happily ever after don't read this one.
Thoroughly recommended to those who want a Christmas book to devour in a few sittings, but who can also handle the harsh realities of life.
