Christy, her husband Seb and young daughter Holly are headed to Lapland to spend Christmas with Christy’s long-lost aunt. Marriage problems and a job interview mean the adults delay their departure, sending Holly with Christy’s friend Alix. And Zac whom Alix prefers to avoid. Lots of relationship issues which all get suitably resolved. Hint - communication is key. I did like that a range of relationships were involved - friendships, family relationships, marriage, not just romantic relationships. A nice feel-good story with some positive character growth. Not to mention a top notch Christmassy setting. I can’t be the only reader wanting to immediately fly to Robyn’s for Christmas.
