Summary
Escape to a cosy festive bookshop this winter with this pause-resisting and magical treat.
The brand-new feel-good Christmas novel from Sunday Times top 10 best-selling author Jenny Colgan.
Carmen has always worked in her local department store. So, when the gorgeous old building closes its doors for good, she is more than a little lost.
When her sister, Sofia, mentions an opportunity in Edinburgh - a cute little bookshop, the spare room in her house - Carmen is reluctant, she was never very good at accepting help. But, short on options, she soon finds herself pulling into the snowy city just a month before Christmas.
What Sofia didn't say is that the shop is on its last legs and that if Carmen can't help turn things around before Christmas, the owner will be forced to sell. Privately, Sofia is sure it will take more than a miracle to save the store, but maybe this Christmas, Carmen might surprise them all....

hard to get through the first half.
I didn't really like the main characters, even finding some really irritating, including the main chatacter. i appreciate she changes over the course of the story, but a more immature character I have not come across.
There wasn't much romance in it either, not until the last chapter really.
Some great secondary characters though!

Cosy Christmas story!
A lovely warming festive story to get you in the Christmas mood. Beautifully narrated.
I would have sacrificed the romance for more on the bookshop but I know others probably want the romance.,

Very enjoyable but a little too long.
The storyline of this book was really enjoyable, however I feel that the writing was a little drawn out for such a light hearted novel.
I could see this working as a film.....if it hasn't already and I've been living under a rock.
