From its stunning cover, the hilarious first few chapters, and then the way the story develops, well this is just fabulous. A heartwarming tale taking in a runaway bride, a trip to Norway, finding a parent and even more, discovering yourself too.

Where do I start in explaining how much I loved this book - when I wasn't reading it I was wondering why, when I was I was hoping the ended would never appear, as I was enjoying the story so much.

There are many directions and subplots, most of which I didn't predict which just added to the compelling qualities of this story. There were some fabulous storylines, great writing, beautiful descriptions, some emotion, plenty of laughs and some romance too - I mean what else do you need - and I did I mention it also features a trip to see the Northern Lights, a sexy photographer, a quaint art gallery and a good idea of what Oslo is like in November.

I would say this is more of a wintery book, perfect to read curled up by the fire, although I may have been just as content reading it in the sun during August! Most of the story is set in November, so its not what I would classify a Christmas book per se, more one that could be read at any time of the year, although Christmas does feature.

I loved almost all the characters in this, apart from Frankie's grandma, but I could understand her towards the end at least. I just got such a great feeling reading this that I can't really put into words, and' I don't really want to to comment on the plot as I think its best left to be discovered for yourself.

This really is a wonderful book to add you your must reads stack for this winter, and its one of my favourites from this author.

Thank you to Netgalley and Canelo for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

A wonderfully sweet story of love, forgiveness, and learning to follow your own path :c)

Frankie runs from her fiance on the morning of their wedding. She isn't in love with him and only said yes to the engagement as her family expected her to. Her family are mad at her so she doesn't know where to go and ends up heading to Norway to find her estranged mother.

A book about family, secrets and relationships.

I love Norway and would love to see the northern lights so always enjoy reading books set there.

Frankie leads a very privileged lifestyle but she isn’t happy so when she leaves her fiancé at the alter and makes a dash for the airport it all goes wrong! Her overbearing grandmother and her loving doting father want her home but Frankie heads to find her absent mother and discover why she abandoned her and in the process find herself.

I am very biased with Darcie’s books as Corwenna Cove is one of my favourite series but this was just a wonderful read and I loved it. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review,
