A review by lizzuplans
Merry & Brett by Megan Byrd
slow-paced
4.0
This was a cute Christmas read!
I enjoyed getting to know Meredith (Merry) and Brett, and see their relationship develop.
They both had quite a lot of trauma to deal with and at times that dampened my reading experience a bit, but it worked with the story well.
The secondary characters were fun and engaging and really helped propel the story forward.
I really did need to push myself at first, as the writing style in this book is very descriptive. There is not that much dialogue and scenes are set with a wonderful attention to detail, but at the same time this detail gave so much information that was fully irrelevant (I know the hair colour of one of the shopkeepers, but they do not have a name nor did they appear a second time), that it was a bit hard to get through.
If this style works for you, would recommend.
Looking forward to reading the other books in this series!
3.75 stars rounded up.
I received an ARC of this book from the author (thanks!) and these are my own opinions.
