My Review:
A Perfect Cornish Christmas is a wonderful feel good, warm and engaging read which is perfect for curling up with at this time of year.
I loved being back in PorthMellow and catching up with all the residents I met in the first book. There is a great feeling of community in this village as there is always someone to help, offer advice or give you a hug which made me feel all warm inside and relax into the story. I found myself wishing that I lived in the village and that I was friends with some of the characters as I think it would be amazing.
I’ve always liked the idea of moving somewhere new and starting afresh so the blurb of this book really appealed to me. I enjoyed living precariously through Scarlett as she moves to and attempts to settle into a new place.
There is lots of different things going on which kept me firmly absorbed in the book. It’s a story of hidden secrets, forgiveness and new starts which I found very intriguing and loved following Scarlett in her new life. There are some absolutely hilarious moments which had me laughing out loud but also some sad ones which stops it being too sugar sweet and seem more realistic. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and was quite sad when it ended and I had to leave PorthMellow behind. I really hope that there will be more books in this series!
Huge thanks to Sabah from Avon for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book. If you are looking for a compelling festive read to curl up with this season then you’ll love this book!
