The Christmas Bookshop
by Jenny Colgan
Thank you so much to NetGalley, Jenny Colgan and William Morrow for an early copy of this book!
What a fun treat this one was! This was such a cozy read to jump start the holiday season because let's be honest, we all know it starts as soon as the clock strikes midnight on Nov 1st.
This book is about two polar opposite sisters: one has her life together and the other does not. Carmen was let go from her job and her (very pregnant) sister (with the suggestion of their mother) took her in and provided her a job for the holiday season. Not only is Carmen living us book lovers dream and working at a bookshop, she is somehow involved in a love triangle.
This story was heart warming and I love seeing how Carmen's relationship grew with her nieces and nephew. The complexity between Carmen and Sofia is relatable to me even though I have a younger brother. I feel like I am Carmen and my brother would be Sofia. It was nice to see how their relationship changed & we see how they worked things out.
I won't spoil how Carmen works her way through the bookshop or how she manages her love triangle. I will say I was happy with the choice that she makes. If you are looking for a cozy, romantic book to read during the holiday season, Perfect for Hallmark Christmas movie lovers.
Rating: 3.75
