This book’s cover is incredibly pretty, combining the two cities where the book takes place and it has and snowy magic-like feel that I really like and would make me pick it up from a bookshelf without hesitation. Combine this with the most important bit, the content inside and you get an un-put-downable read. The writing is really friendly, and invites you to read on finding out what will happen next.
I really warmed to the characters, they are so delightful, especially the lead Hanna, so bubbly and fun, I really routed for her throughout the book, even during the difficult time she suffers after Hanna and Richard reconnect, despite it being a mistake, it was completely understandable.
Then there is the Larsen’s. Where do I begin? They are so loving towards Hanna from the very start and just the kind of people you would want to know and have as a surrogate family. They lit up every scene they starred in. Then there was Richard Larsen. Just utterly brilliant from the first time you read him and I think he acted such the gentleman the whole way through. One wonders if he is too good to be true?!
The epilogue on this book was so wonderful, longer than most epilogues you get, and satisfied all of my questions.
Overall this book was such a charming read, it is the perfect book to snuggle up with when you have an evening spare with nothing but a hot chocolate or glass of wine to keep you company! This book is just outstanding, absolutely adore it beyond belief!
