Three Holidays and a Wedding book review

 



Three Holidays and a Wedding by Uzma Jalaluddin and Marissa Stapley

Three Holidays and a Wedding follows strangers Maryam and Anna who on their flight to Toronto get snowbound after an emergency landing in a small town called Snow Falls and while they're there and celebrating their respective holidays they discover and learn things about themselves and what they want from life they never would have if they hadn't met eachother and become snowbound. 

One thing I love about this book is how Eid, Hanukkah and Christmas all fall at the same time and how that brings the characters together all travelling and experiencing the holiday season together even if they celebrate different holidays. 

I enjoyed the romance in this book to and it didn't disappoint with it being a holiday book with a good cosy romance to curl up with on a chilly day (not that that's what I did with thithis current UK heatwave). But something I liked even more than the romance was the friendship that developed between Maryam and Anna. At the start of the book they don't get off on the best footing and you don't really expect them to become great friends but by the end of the book you really see that you can find great friends in anyone no matter your differences and that is something I love. The two really do form an unlikely but strong friendship in this book. 

The dynamics between the rest of the characters were also great and I think I did truly grow to love pretty much all these characters - there were a few that I wasn't a massive fan of and a few concepts/plot points I wasn't taken by but ultimately in a town like Snow Falls you can't help but love it all. I'd love to visit Snow Falls one day - it sounds fantastic, like a bit of a winter wonderland and all the people are so nice and welcoming which we love! 

Overall this is a fantastic cosy Christmas book that I highly recommend you pick up either when it comes out if you read Christmas books all year like me or during the festive period this year, with fantastic inclusiveness and characters. I really enjoyed it and it was a great one to kick off this years festive book season.

Thank you to Netgalley and Atlantic Books for a free e-arc in exchange of an honest review. This book is released on 28th September 2023.

The Christmas Book Club book review

  I read a Sarah Morgan Christmas book during Advent last year and as soon as I heard about this book I knew I had to read it and the timings for it worked out perfectly for me to read about 15 pages a day during December until Christmas Eve when I finished it. This isn’t a romance book as such but it still has all the feels that the Christmas romance books do. The story follows four different women and has their POVs throughout, Hattie owns the inn, and Anna, Erica and Claudia meet up every year for a book club holiday. There is such a cosy feel in this book and I just loved reading it. The friendship between Anna, Erica and Claudia is so strong and I’d love to have a friendship like that, they are there for each other no matter what and each brings something different to the table. They are all going through something during the book and need each other’s support and that support really is perfect. Also by the end of the book, they have all grown as people especially when faced w...

The Match book review

  Back in April I was recommended my first Sarah Adams book and really enjoyed it however it wasn’t my favourite type of romance book so when I saw this one had been rereleased and was 99p on Kindle I knew that I needed to read it.  The Match follows Evie who works for a company that trains service dogs to help people with all sorts of disabilities after her life was changed when she got a service dog to help with her epilepsy and when she meets Jacob when trying to convince him how much a service dog would help his daughter she begins to fall for him and his small family.  This was such a light brilliant romance that I just wanted to read and continue to be immersed in the story for as long as I could. I loved all of our major characters particularly Evie, Jacob and Sam (Jacob's daughter). Sam just added the best things to the story and the romance going on between Evie and Jacob. She was also a brilliant character on her own that you really felt for and you just underst...

The Off-Limits Rule book review

  I discovered Sarah Adams in early 2024 after it was recommended to me on Bookstagram and while she wasn’t originally an author I was sure about, however as I read more from her I fell in love with her books and she definitely became a favourite auto-buy author. My last traditionally published backlist series I had to read going into 2025 was It Happens in Nashville duology, the first book being The Off-Limits Rule.  The Off-Limits Rule follows Lucy who has moved her and her son back in with her brother who has made it clear that his best friend, Cooper, is off-limits to her however Lucy has gotten a different impression of Cooper to what Drew has told her about him and maybe it’s okay to break the rule sometimes, right? As soon as I started this book I was reminded of exactly why I love Sarah Adams books so much. I was invested in Lucy’s character and hooked by the story. I enjoyed all of the characters and found it to be a book that I could not put down.  The romance w...
