So I started this one early morning before my alarm went off thinking, oh I will just start this book before getting up…..20 minutes later my alarm went off and I had finished it – I was like hang on a second where did that time go?!
This is obviously a short snappy novella, but it is one that makes you think. What is important to you? What will make you happy?
We meet Ellie, in a time of life where she has left her “Prince Charming” living in squalor leaving the high life she has known and loved…well to a degree.
She wants more from life but has not communicated this very well to her husband who is working hard to provide for her. To make sure she never goes without because he knows what that is like. Peter too has not been completely honest, he has kept his secrets. They truly do love each other but do they really know each other?
There is passion and love, both fighting for each other but needing to truly listen to each other and build on what they have. Plus who does not love a bit of damsel in distress and Prince Charming concept especially when it is as realistic as this one is.
The root of the novel is to make reconfirm that marriage is work, it is not what is going on the outside it is behind closed doors that count. Add Christmas to it and it is a cute little story to make you smile. Ms Chara has made a novella to keep you warm at night and leave you with a smile on your face.
