A lovely read . A little slow to get going but got better and better.. A lovely story of tradition and pulling together as a community. I loved the difference in generations over dating and crowd funding . Made me laugh. The way peoples attitudes changed especially the headmaster Leo was great. Nice setting in the Cotswolds. I love the gingerbread measurements. Read it.

4.5 stars

Kiley Dunbar is an auto-buy author for me so imagine my delight to get my hands on an early copy of her latest book!

I went into this story blind and was DELIGHTED that it feature an older heroine! How refreshing that Margi, in her mid-60s, isn't relegated to be a supporting character but is the leading lady of this story. And a vibrant leading lady at that -- she may have misplaced her spark when we first meet her but she gets it back. Not a spoiler as it's a HEA type of book.

Lovely Christmassy book that's definitely a feel-good read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Hera Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you, Hera Books.
