Today I am excited to take part in the Blog Tour for this wonderful winter read from Sophie Pembroke. Thank you to Tracy Fenton of Compulsive Readers for inviting me to join the tour and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Book Description
Welcome to Mistletoe Island, where dreams can come true...
The snow is falling and Fliss's friends have arrived to celebrate her wedding for a week at Holly Cottage. It's the perfect way to kick off her brand-new life, isn't it?
Except Ruth wishes she was anywhere other than a remote Scottish island, Caitlin is keeping a secret from her friends, Lara is suddenly facing her ex a decade after turning down his proposal and even the bride has something to hide...
But as the friends prepare for a week to remember, will Fliss's dream wedding go off without a hitch, or will the secrets they've been hiding change everything?
The perfect cosy Christmas romance to curl up with this holiday season about family, friendship and love. For fans of Jill Mansell, Sue Moorcroft and Heidi Swain.
My Review
After reading the blurb for this book I was really excited to get started on reading. I have not read a book from Sophie Pembroke before but I could not wait to get started.
It is the week before Christmas and Fliss and her closest friends from University are all meeting up and staying on Mistletoe Island in Holly Cottage, just like they 10 years ago after they had all graduated. They are all there to celebrate the wedding of Fliss to Ewan and its great for them all to be back together again.
A lot has happened to the seven of them in the last ten years but they have all remained in touch with each other. They have been there for each other so much since they all started university together and of course the wedding of Fliss is not one that any of them would miss out on.
However things are not all they seem between them all as they are all harbouring secrets that they haven't shared with each other over the years and ones that could all be about to come out. Will Lara and Jon be able to sort their differences, will Caitlin and Neal be able to sort out their marriage and will Ruth and Alec be able to move on from their devastating loss.
But most of all will Fliss get the wedding of her dreams?
I loved this book from start to finish and I could not put it down.
I really enjoyed how the story was told through the eyes of Fliss, Lara and Ruth. Each of them giving their perspective of what's happening between all of the friends and how each others lives are working out. You also get an insight into some of the secrets the friends are keeping from each other. They tell you the story from 2009 as well as 2019 so you get to see what their last visit to Holly Cottage was like too.
I thoroughly enjoyed they writing style as it flowed well and the setting for this book sounds like such a romantic place, perfect for a winter wedding. This book is set at Christmas time but does not revolve around Christmas. It is more about the friendship and relationships that the group share and how they all need each other too.
I loved my first book from Sophie Pembroke and I am already excited to read more.
