This Christmas, Clara is yearning for a little magic.
Will her hopes be dashed?
Or will this festive season turn out to be the one when all her wildest dreams come true?
Oh, be still my beating heart… Although I am sure I say this every time I read one of Rosie’s books!
I fell into my normal Sunday night trap with her book 🙈 I started it and now at nearly midnight after an hour and a half I finished it. I was sobbing (had to do it quietly as everyone was asleep) but jeez sobbing.
I love this series and I always devour the books, although I wish I wouldn’t because I want them to last longer. Now it’s done I am feeling very lost without Clara, to be honest. This was the last one in her trilogy, but not her last story according to the acknowledgments (yessssssss)
Everything just worked and was just magical. I mean I want to go in one of those pods in New York, it sounds amazing!! I have never been to New York but gosh didn’t it sound so beautiful that I just can’t wait to go. Clara is just the best character, the typical girl next door you always root for and I was rooting here on so many levels. Her trip with Rory well I need a tissue……
I love that we have new characters crop up and I do hope we see Francie again. I am hoping that the teasing blurb for the next book is Francie. In those short pages, she was there, I adored her and she brought me to tears.
With a Rosie book, once the tears start you just can’t stop them. So many emotions wrapped up in so few pages. I just love how she makes me care for all the characters and how I feel protective and care about them.
Oh I know I say it every time but I do love this series *sigh* it’s just my escape, my happiness and I wish it would be made for the screen. I adore everything about the little duck pond café.
Until next time xxx
