Reading a Josie silver book is like a warm hug. I was invited to read this one and I devoured it on a lazy sunny afternoon. Set in New York at Christmas it gave me all the feels. Such a lovely sweet story. I shall definitely read it again at Christmas. Just delightful.

I would give this one 6 stars if I could! What a perfect story, managed to read it over 2 days. I always love stories set in New York. The main characters were fantastic and who wouldn’t want to part of the amazing Italian family.
You are in for a treat- I loved it

Could not put it down! Was sucked in from page one! I loved the story and the characters and the family! I want to be a belotti! Fantastically written and wonderful ending. Really didn’t think it was going to be that way at many points.

This may be set in an ice cream parlour during winter yet it oozes with warmth. Featuring too strong main characters in Iris and Gio who both have a lot of baggage from their pasts, added to that Iris is keeping many secrets from Gio which are a massive hurdle to her engaging in a relationship with him. This is a fabulous character read with a great surrounding cast too and is such a positive and uplifting read overall which I sped through in next to no time. 9/10

An utterly delightful, real, adult story about love, family, pain, loss, redemption and happy endings. The setting is New York and I loved all the cultural references - music, film and fashion. This book is beautifully written and although I don’t normally like first person, it worked very well here.

This author is new to me but I’ll be searching out more of her books.
