Four
Christmases and a Secret
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…
Except for Daisy
Christmas means another of Uncle T’s dreaded Christmas parties, complete with
Christmas jumper and flashing antlers. And Oliver Cartwright.
Gorgeous Oliver Cartwright. Who she hates.
Every year Daisy has to
face insufferable Ollie and hear all about how BRILLIANT he is. Whereas
Daisy has no job, no man and no idea how to fix things.
This Christmas however Daisy is
determined things will be different. There will be no snogging Ollie
under the mistletoe like when they were teenagers. No, this year she’ll
show Ollie that she’s a Responsible Adult too.
But as the champagne corks pop, and the tinsel sparkles, Uncle T has news of his own to share…and it could change Daisy's life forever…

A delightful read that gives us more than your typical
festive feel-good frolic.
Although we have a lot of festive cheer through the annual
Christmas party held by Uncle Terrance (in a bookshop – how amazing does that
sound by the way!?!) a lot of this story is based throughout several points
throughout the year in between each party. Moved along nicely and timely so the
pace is good, if you aren’t a huge Christmas fan then this is perfect as it isn’t
all festive all the time.
I think Daisy is a lovely character, although perhaps it
took me a bit of time to get used to her, she grows on you and she develops as
a character throughout. I liked the fact she loved books, she was funny and
caring and the way she cared for Stanley. I laughed so much at the rescue
mission she went on with Ollie.
Ollie is the enigmatic, successful and gorgeous doctor – he
has always been in Daisy’s life, but could now me the time they are more than friends,
or will Daisy’s interesting, confident colleague get in their first?
The thing with secrets is that they do come out and honestly
this book took me on a rollercoaster of revelation. Some secrets and just
heartbreakingly sad and emotional. I didn’t necessarily expect everything this
book gave me, but it made the story more enjoyable.
I’m a big fan of Zara Stoneley’s style of writing, managing
to engage you in the lives of her characters without it being too much. A beautiful look at relationships, family, friendships
and moving on from the past.
