My Thoughts:
I love a good Christmas book! I always seem to pick the books I read based on the cover and this book cover certainly is a lot of fun!
This is the fourth book in the From Shetland, With Love series but the first that I have read. Which maybe why I had a hard time really getting into the book. There are so many characters and I couldn’t keep track of who’s who. I had to write everyone’s names down and how they were related to each other. I would like to go back and start from the beginning of the series to see if that helps.
This book switches between three POV’s…
Callie, she lives with her parents and is in financial trouble and works multiple jobs barely making ends meet. This character was annoying at times but really changed my mind about her was how she handled being accused of something that she did not do. Yes she was upset, but really I feel that she took the high road - especially when the accusers realize that she didn’t do it.
Heather is a single mom of two grown daughters and she breeds dogs. I love how protective she is of her dogs (and the pups) and it shows that she is the same way with her daughters (maybe too much when it comes to their love lives).
And then there was Tabitha - my favorite of the three. She makes soaps and other beauty products. She is also really involved with the community theater where she performs in The Christmas Carol. She really proves that she is a true leader and does what it takes to make sure the show does go on!
I did enjoy this book, I really liked the setting and the back-up characters…it just went slower than I would have liked since I was mapping the characters out.
Thank you to Headline, NetGalley and Erin Green for this Advanced Readers Copy of the book for my honest review!
