Polly, Huckle and Neil are back but in what, sadly for fans of the Little Beach series, seems to be the last of this trilogy. Never say never but by the end of this book, the author has certainly secured the destiny of these three much-loved characters. Don't be put off if you haven't read the previous ones, it really won't matter particularly as the author provides a helpful little synopsis at the start to help those, like me, that are new to these stories.
As the title suggests this book is set at Christmas but again don't be put off as it's little more than a nod to the festive season with only very subtle references to mince pies, decorations, etc. So this is 'not just for Christmas' but would be enjoyable at any time of the year. Although the fact that it is coming up to Christmas does give me an excuse to try Polly's recipe for mincemeat twists or Yule log which as a nice touch can be found at the back of the book.
Overall I liked this book but didn't love it although fans of Little Beach or Jenny Colgan will I'm sure. Other feel -good chicklit chick-lit you might like are [[Amelia Grey's Fireside Dream by Abby Clements]] or if you're feeling festive my favourite [[Sleigh Rides and Silver Bells at the Christmas Fair by Heidi Swain]]. For another festive story from Colgan, try [[The Christmas Surprise by Jenny Colgan|The Christmas Surprise]].
