paddlefoot55 's review for:
Christmas at the Chalet
by Anita Hughes
ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review.
This is my first read by Anita Hughes, and whilst I liked it, I didn't love it.
I could almost hear that Robin guy who was the voice-over man for "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" as I was reading. It was kind of hard to connect when every single person was uber-successful and beautiful - no plain Jane office workers in this one - but this could just be me.
I loved the setting of St Moritz, and snow at Christmas time is just something we see on TV in this part of the world.
My main issue was that for the most part, the characters felt very immature. The parents of one lady - omg what a pair or selfish, well, you don't want to know the words I have for them. I have seen 3 years olds behaving better than them!
I also felt that maybe there was too much trying to happen? Too many storylines fighting for space in the one book. Sometimes less is more, and to me, it would have been the case in this one.
I know this sounds like I didn't like this book, but I did. When I wasn't wanting to reach into the book and hit people with my reader. I just had my issues with it that probably won't bother anyone else.
