Dec 6, 2021
If you follow my reviews, you'll know I'm all about the book feelings and how much I hate using the word NICE to describe a book. But sometimes, that word sticks at the tip of my fingers and I can't shift it no matter what.
So, this is a nice book.
Roxy goes home for Christmas for the first time in several years, at the request of her aging grandmother. Her (currently) off-again boyfriend is in Milan. A conversation between them sets Roxy off in a bad mood and things go downhill from there. Or rather, Roxy goes uphill but the weather turns for the worse and Roxy runs off the road in a blizzard and she only packed her good clothes. Ranger Mark finds her, and there follows a lovely tale of finding your true self.
I liked it. It's relatively clean, just some kissing. Low angst, although Roxy does have to dig deep to make the decision she does. Just Roxy has a say though, and maybe if Mark had been given a voice, I might have enjoyed it more.
I refer back to the book feelings. My first and most lasting feeling about this book is that it's a Hallmark Christmas movie, wrapped up in some 178 pages. It didn't seem that long though.
It's incredibly sweet, and I think, for ME, just a bit too much.
But! This is the first I've read of this author, under either name she uses, and I'd certainly give her another go. A book with a bit more bite might be more for me.
3 good, twinkly stars

The one thing I loved was how the church and the bridge were community projects, and how neither of them went smoothly! That made it all the more real to me. Even someone with as much foresight and feeling for the stones would have faced difficulties along the way, whether that was from the weather, the river, or others in the community who disagreed.
This story was rich in community life, and I celebrated and commiserated in equal measure. There were times when it definitely didn't go the way I was expecting it to, which just made it all the better for me. It also showed the beginning of the coal mining that would dominate South Wales for many a year. The coal slag heaps are now covered in green vegetation as nature takes back what was claimed by man. William's Bridge still stands to this day, creating a lasting legacy.
An exceptional read that I couldn't put down; this book absolutely deserves 5 out of 5 exceptional stars from me. Anything less is just not possible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
