review 1: This novel was such a great read and i found myself hooked after only a few pages, which is a testimant to S Bailey's fantastic writing style. It was a beautiful love story that was heartwarming and emotive, as well as being really down-to-earth that any reader could easily relate to. The theme of love, friendship and relationships was key throughout the novel and something that is apparent in all our lives, that the author really explored well. Even if you are a fan of other completely different types of genre and literature in general, i would not dismiss this book as it is something that will reach out to a broad spectrum of reader. So whatever your taste in books i would definately reccomend this as it appeals to all in the way that it touches on everyday life, thought... mores and views. It was captivating, deep and at the same time a very easy read that you could even take on holiday and i found myself after reading it, smiling to myself in contentment of having just read some really great work that was better than anticipated and that had exceeded all expectations.
review 2: I won't be reviewing this one on the blog but I will say a few words. The Night Before Christmas is an absolutely lovely read, especially nice if you like Christmas chick lit. It has the same format as any chick lit really.. but that's what I love about these stories! They're comforting and leave you feeling warm and happy, and The Night Before Christmas is no different. There were a heck of a lot of mistakes but that's not Scarlett's fault and you can ignore them it's just a bit odd, is all. The story is nice, set in the Lake District in an old house, snowed in with her best friends, her current boyfriend who she's suddenly not sure about, and the ex love of her life, as well as a yummy local guy who came to fix the boiler, Lydia is determined to have a perfect Christmas. I'll be watching for future books by Scarlett Bailey, for sure. :) less
