My first festive read of the year! I still have an ever growing list that inevitably will be left until next year AGAIN. I saw this one EVERYWHERE on booksta last year so I jumped on it when I saw it on BorrowBox. 📚

So this novel takes place on a Christmas tree farm - SO FESTIVE AND COZY! Lots of snow, lights and nostalgia. The setting was lovely, the small town folk were a delight. 🎄

As expected, this book is very predictable but I feel like all Xmas movies/book are right? This story obviously has a bit of luke warm romance at the heart of it, just to make it all the more heartwarming. 💕

Whilst I loved most of the characters, I wasn’t a huge fan of our main girly. I’m not a fan of miscommunication in a relationship so I wasn’t completely into the love interest side of the story. 🙈

Im not sure I would’ve seen this book through had it not been an audiobook. I struggle with slow paced reads but it was great for a relaxing wind down which I know many people love this time of year. 📖
