The Beachside Christmas
This review was originally posted on Star Crossed ReviewsThank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley. I have really come to love Shipley so I couldn't think of a better place to spend Christmas. This is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone.
Lilly fled to Shipley after her relationship with ended badly. Her neighbours are hosting their annual Christmas lights competition the only problem is they don't have a judge. Lilly offers to find a celebrity judge for them.
Ollie is a whole bunch of trouble but he brings Craig the cameraman with him. Craig is pretty closed off at first but after a few days Lilly helps to break down those walls.
Lilly's mum was quite a character I found her very entertaining.
This is a feel good book but does discuss some important issues which is a theme I have noticed in Karen's books. I like that there is a serious element to her stories.
Karen has written a festive hug of a book filled with laughter and warmth. It was great to be back in Shipley again and I look forward to seeing what else Karen brings us in the future.
