A Christmas Wish and a Cranberry Kiss at the Cosy Kettle by Liz Eeles
5.0
What an absolute treat A Christmas Wish and a Cranberry Kiss is!! I fell completely in love within a matter of pages and wound up devouring it in one sitting.
Liz has done an incredible job of weaving this story together to create an enchanting, festive, funny and warm-hearted read.
Shy and anxious Becca has made it her Christmas wish to become a new and improved version of herself. With the help of her best friend Zac and the Cozy Kettle Crew we are taken on a festive, funny and fabulous journey as they try to help Becca make her wishes come true.
Firstly, not only is Liz’s writing style incredibly engaging - I honestly felt transported when reading this gem - but it was a genuine breath of fresh air reading a book where the secondary characters are as bold, funny, loveable and just as important as the protagonists. (Stanley has well and truly stolen my heart, with his tight jeans and hipster lingo, he had me laughing out loud!) it is obvious that Liz has put care and love into every character she has written and it really set the book apart from others in this genre.
Upon picking up the book, I immediately connected with Becca and her struggle with her anxiety and nervousness, which is something I’ve struggled massively with over the last few weeks. I really resonated with her as a character and was rooting for her throughout. It’s rare that I read a book and completely see myself in a character, which I think is what has blown me away.
The Cozy Kettle is a home away from home that sounds true to its name. I adored the descriptions of the village and the cottage that Becca and Zac shared, and could just imagine myself in this magical little winter wonderland.
I loved the sense of community from the CK Crew and how they spurred into action to help their Becca when it appeared that disaster had struck. And what can I even say about Zac?! What a wonderful friend and character he was, I found myself begging Becca to open her eyes and see what a gem she had right in front of her.
This is the first book I’ve read in the Cozy Kettle series but I absolutely will be reading the others. I think I’ve found a new slice of heaven to escape to on a cozy evening by the fire.
I am so so pleased I requested this book from Netgalley and honestly cannot recommend it enough.
