Title: Christmas in the Little Irish Village
Author: Michelle Vernal
Pages: 299
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Thoughts:
I pretty much love any book that takes place in Ireland! This book was a fun & quick read! I found myself laughing out loud a lot with all of the family banter! The best part, the MC has the same name as me (well, first and middle names)...Shannon Marie!
This book is just lovely! The closeness of this family - you can feel the love that they have for each other through the pages of this book. The world definitely needs more people like the Kelly family! There is always a place at their table for anyone who is alone for the holidays. Not to mention the closeness that Shannon has with all of her patients (especially Maeve), it is just so endearing! You really do feel all the feels in this book...even like the book Shannon, I felt the happy-sadness.
I found myself reading with an Irish accent for all of the dialogue and had to laugh at the irony of Shannon making fun of James’s Boston accent. I loved most of the characters - even the crabby ones (let’s face it, all communities have them). AND Napoleon with his cattitude! I just love him!!!
I do wish the ending was a little more detailed instead of carrying over to a second book. I am impatient and want more now! I would definitely recommend this book to those who love a sweet Christmas romance with a great location - definitely a Hallmark movie waiting to be made!
Thank you to Bookouture, NetGalley & Michelle Vernal for the Advanced Reader’s Copy of this book for my honest review!
