Maybe Next Christmas book review

 


Last year I read This Christmas by Emma Heatherington and really enjoyed it, I found it to be a really fun Christmas romance so when I heard Emma Heatherington was releasing another Christmas book this year I knew that I definitely wanted to read it and see if she is an author who becomes one I turn to for every Christmas. 

Maybe Next Christmas follows Bea and Ollie who meet when their plane back home to Ireland for Christmas is delayed but after the flight they leave as strangers until they bump into each other in London months later sparking a chain of events that neither could have predicted last Christmas. 

As I’ve already mentioned I have previously read an Emma Heatherington Christmas book so kind of knew what to expect from this with the writing and characters going into it and it didn’t disappoint. I really enjoyed the writing and getting to know these two characters with their different points of views and past experiences. Emma creates a really magical cosy setting that you want to visit and want to keep reading from and she also manages to have you really root for the characters throughout the story no matter the situations that they found themselves in. Once I was hooked I couldn’t stop reading desperate to know how things were going to go for Bea and Ollie by the end of the book because there wasn’t always a clear ending to be expected. 

Even though this book spans an entire year it continues to have that cosy feeling that you expect from a festive book and still feels perfect for the season. Bea and Ollie were both well developed characters who both had lots going on in their lives that didn’t feel like it was just there for the plot which I definitely liked and really helped to develop how invested you were in the story and what was going to happen to the characters. 

Overall I found this to be exactly what I wanted from an Emma Heatherington Christmas book that I was truly invested in wanting to know where everything was going to go. The setting was perfect, and it had a great cosy vibe with characters I truly rooted for so it was an easy 4.25 star read and I look forward to seeing if Emma Heatherington releases any more Christmas books in future years.

As Good As Dead short review

Image
  This is the third book in the A Good Girls Guide to Murder series and I was very excited to see what was going to happen and where it was going to go. This book also didn't disappoint, I didn't expect it to take the direction it did and there were some bits that terrified me but I did still rate it 5 stars.  I had so many feelings when reading this, I loved some bits and how the characters have evolved, terrified about what was going on and then heartbroken by parts of the ending. The characters have grown and evolved so much in this series and I love how much they have grown, I also hope they get a break after everything that they've been through.  This book took a dark turn and I can't say I didn't like it. I don't know if it was my favourite when it first happened, but the way it continued on and led to the ending I loved. I also loved how all of Pip's friends stepped up to help even if they didn't completely know what was going on.  That ending too

The Girl in Question book review

Image
  The Girls I’ve Been by Tess Sharpe is a YA thriller that I read a few years back now and really enjoyed, it was fast paced, had me hooked and characters that were easy to root for so when I heard this book was coming I knew I would need to pick it up.  The Girl in Question again follows Nora, Wes and Iris who we know from the bank robbery from the previous book but instead this time after graduating high school they are going on a backpacking trip in the woods when Wes’s new girlfriend gets kidnapped dure to a borrowed flannel. Most of this book takes place over about a week while the characters are in the forest but there are flashbacks to weeks and years previous.  This is a series I would recommending checking out the content warnings for as there are a lot of things discussed and it’s better to be safe.  I really like how this book is written, it’s not something I find in a lot of the books I read but I don’t think the story would work without it. Unlike the previous book we get

The Gossip Games book review

Image
This book took me by major surprise and I am so glad that I chose to read it because boy, was it good. I fell in love with this book, the story, the characters, the romance and nearly everything else that was included in it. The Gossip Games follows Gracie who has recently had rumours about her start-up after Dean, her best friend's brother, carried her up to bed and she’s not best pleased. This starts up a competition of sorts between the two to see who can one up the other in a game of flirting and fake dating. This book is a contemporary young adult romance following characters who are in their later teenage years at a private boarding school. The main characters in The Gossip Games are Gracie and Dean, as well as Zara, Dean’s twin sister and Gracie’s best friend, Jesse and Theo, who are Zara and Dean’s cousins, though there are a couple of other characters who feature regularly. I liked nearly all the cast of characters and if I didn’t originally like a character quite often I
