I’ve had this cute little novella on my Kindle since before last Christmas. It was time to finally read this short (109 page) book, and it flew by. Garner creates the warm fuzzy feeling of Christmas in the Timberton hotel, and the main character, Mist, distinctly gives me Luna Lovegood vibes. My biggest complaint for the whole story is that there isn’t really much going on. There is no problem to solve or romance to be found; it literally just tells the story of Mist preparing for Christmas and Christmas Eve meals as the café Moonglow manager. Garner does make up for the lack of plot with some tasty sounding recipes at the end, as she provides the recipes for all cookies mentioned during the story. If you’re looking for something simple and sweet, this is it 🎄
