Tutto bene tranne il Natale

***4 stars*** Before I started listening to Christmas for beginners, I didn't know it was part of a series. So I didn't know any of the backstories of the MCs. But luckily after a few chapters, it wasn't difficult to follow the plot and who's who. Honestly, I was initially going to give this only 3 st Leggi tutto

This book is for you if… you read >Christmas books for the sake of their christmas-y feeling rather than anything an intricate plot. ⤐ Overall. In case anybody is still reading my reviews y'all are gonna be tired of hearing this probably, but let me just say that my heart is not in the right place Leggi tutto

Well, it turns out that her advice on books is excellent too! This is the f Leggi tutto

Joy, white Christmas and happiness is how I’d describe this book. Carole never seems to fail me in giving such a truly feel good story. This is a follow on from “Happiness for beginners” which I also loved about Hope Farm. It is a really wonderful place to help teenagers who do not fit the mould of Leggi tutto
