Beautifully written. Give me all the feels. I love these kind of books because they’re such an easy feel good read. Not read a novel by this author before but il definitely read more.

I wish I could write like Joanna – her ease of writing is evident from the first page. She’s able to describe humour, sadness and loss, and all wrapped up in a festive bow. Nick has lost his job and, grudgingly, accepts a role as a shopping centre’s Santa. It’s not his dream gig and his colleagues aren’t exactly child-friendly but when four-year-old Alfie’s wish is to make his mum happy again, Nick knows how he can help. Arranging a date between Sarah, Alfie’s mum and Nick’s best friend Matt, it sparks a relationship that’s blossoming. Alfie’s happy and so are Sarah and Matt and Nick? Well, he’s thinking he may have made a festive error. It’s so tenderly written in parts, and laugh out loud funny in others. I devoured it in 90 minutes.
