review 1: From the score, it looks like I didn't think much of this book and that's not true at all. This was a perfectly pleasant novel, although from the cover and title, I was hoping for a bit more of a Christmas-y story. The problem that I had with this novel, is that it's set over the course of a year and following three separate families and it all just gets too much. There's too many different stories and plotlines going all over the place and so you don't end up engaged with any of them. The stories that do garner some interest - Cat's struggles with her mother's dementia and Pippa's story of a child needing respite care - aren't given as much space in the book as they deserve. Instead, a huge amount of words are given over to a spiteful ex story that doesn't really go anywh... moreere and plot involving Cat's daughter Mel is both frustrating and annoying. It's hard to be invested in reading about someone so fundamentally unsympathetic and the guide to teen-speak that goes with it at the end of the novel is a bit pointless. Disappointing but only because it could quite easily have been so much better.
review 2: I was really looking forward to reading this book but I was a bit dissappointed and I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Christmas was only really mentioned at the beginning and end of the book. I think if I had read it at any other time of the year I would of probably given it more stars. Also found that there was a bit to much going on with four families and at times it was a bit hard to keep up! less
