This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley and for letting me take part in this tour. Last Christmas I read Karen King's Snowy Nights at the Lonely Hearts Hotel and I loved it so I knew I had to read this book when I first heard about it.

Meg and Oliver have split up. They have been married for 7 years but Oliver has just dropped a bombshell on Meg. I kept thinking about how I would feel in Meg's position. I would feel extremely hurt and betrayed. There were times when I thought Oliver wasn't being fair on Meg but as the book progressed it was easier to see things from both sides.

Meg's mum Sally has also split from her husband. Sally suggests the two women spend Christmas away together to clear their minds. The two women were easy to like. Sally seems like the sort of person that everyone gets on with. She's kind, bubbly and always willing to lend a helping hand. Meg is quite similar to her mum. Both women also have a stubborn streak in them.

This may be a festive story but there's more to it. It's about relationships and compromise. How much compromise is too much? There are topics that are common among couples. They are realistic issues that you can easily relate to.

I loved the bunnies they were super cute! I also loved little Sam. It was lovely to see him change from a bored stroppy child to a happy one. Rose and her family were also a lovely addition to the story I really liked the whole family.

This book really gave me some food for thought. I can't wait to see what Karen brings us next time.
