A review by melindamoor
Christmas at Carrington's by Alex Brown
3.0
I enjoyed it more 2nd time round, apart from the Tom-goes-incommunicado business and its explanation, which in this day and age is "totes" ridiculous and unrealistic.
Predictable with a typical chick-lit plot (he love me... wait ... he doesn't, oh.. he does/I am so over him... wait!.. I am not!) but the characters are utterly likeable.
And author Alexandra Brown just really knows how to throw a proper Christmas-read-party. Very irresistible in a guilty-pleasure sort of way.
Take a rather grand, old-fashioned, yet provincial department store in an English seaside town:
add the Christmas shopping season:
mention the characters eating/drinking coffee, hot chocolate and cakes and stuff (so this does not affect my waist size)
make sure there's a happy ending and there you go.
