Lovely book as usual from Rebecca. I have loved reading these camper van books of hers.

I especially love a Christmas book so this one was the best yet. I really liked the main characters. Both very likeable and brought the book to life.

It had some very good points about environment issues which I thought was a plus point too. Also showed the meaning of Christmas.

Very enjoyable. Thank you Netalley.

I had so much fun spending time with Flora, Connor and the VanLife gang! Flora is a feisty firework of a character who made me laugh out loud on more than one occasion.

This fabulous festive treat is packed full of clever relationship twists and turns and all set against a stunning seasonal backdrop.

There was never a dull moment in this festive read and the dialogue and plot flowed seamlessly.

Loved it!

What a wonderful story full of Christmas feelings, belief and love of community and I wish I had a friend as lovely as Festive Flora

A perfect festive cosy book. Flora after losing her job gets a camper van and heads to lap land. What more could you want from a Christmas book, snow, romance and a camper van. Totally recommend

I'm tending to the opinion that this has been written with the author's tongue very much in cheek. On that basis, it's a decent attempt at sending up the Christmas romance genre. All of the component parts are there: heroine who loves Christmas, is disconnected with her family and is incredibly immature (but selling that as being misunderstood and all her own person); hero with traumatic background that he's somehow never grown out of; snow; Scrooge (in the form here of a Christmas shop owner); mean girls; and immediate new best friend. Rebecca Raisin even references Christmas films and their wildly unbelievable plots.

What a fun little Christmas book! I am such a sucker for a Christmas book and this one did not disappoint!

Flora gets sacked from her dream job. She then buys a campervan and goes to lapland to sell everything to do with Christmas. There she meets Connor who hates Christmas. Loved this book

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. Even though Christmas is a long way off I devoured this book with the lovely Flora and all the characters from the previous series. Would highly recommend.

I feel in love with Christmas all over again after reading this book! I love the author as most of her books are such an easy read. This book is such a light and cheery read.
It would have been good to read more about the other travelling shops too.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this advance copy.

Flora's Travelling Christmas Shop delivers everything you can imagine, all wrapped in a Christmas onesie adorned with festive jewellery. I love Christmas and this story embodies everything magical about the wonders of the special time, without the saccharine sentimentality that some authors feel it necessary to shake all over a plot. Flora's life isn't great, but she has a winning personality and a loyal friend with a matching penchant for Hallmark movies. Instead of moping, she tackles her financial woes head on and takes a leap of faith, purchasing a van and living with fellow travellers. A handsome, sullen Christmas naysayer provides the outlet for romance, a beautiful angel with a vicious tongue and ability to lie creates lots of opportunities for mirth and wry smiles and the ease with which you will power through the pages will leave you reaching for the Christmas decorations and a few twigs and a string of popcorn and humming Christmas carols.

Another amazing book by Rebecca Raisen. I am such a huge fan of her work and this was another perfect, cosy read! I adored the previous travelling books in the series and this is a great addition. If you like Christmas reads and want a book you can curl up with hot chocolate then this is the perfect book for you.

Flora's Travelling Christmas Shop is the story of Christmas-lover Flora, who simply cannot get enough of the holidays. However, losing her job and getting dumped threatens to put a wrench in Flora's Christmas joy this year. Rather than let her circumstances get the best of her, Flora purchases a campervan and travels to Lapland to join the van life and run a Christmas shop. She may even end up changing the heart of a scrooge or two along the way.

Alright, the debate has been resolved: I love Rosie and Aria, but Flora is officially my favorite character! Flora's Travelling Christmas Shop is the perfect (read it again: PERFECT) book for the holiday season. Flora is quirky and hilarious, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading her story. Her joy for the holidays never let's up, even when everything seems to go wrong. I liked Flora's determination to change Connor's mind about Christmas, and it leads to a lot of great scenes between the two. The setting is dreamy and even includes Northern Lights! I love it, I can't enough, and if Rebecca Raisin is writing it, I'm reading it. Run, don't walk, to pick up a copy of Flora's Travelling Christmas Shop when it is published.

Thanks to Netgalley and HQ Digital for this ARC; this is my honest and voluntary review.

How to give this book the praise it deserves. - it is everything I love in a Christmas book. A beautiful setting in Lapland, Christmas lights and reindeer rides. Flora is a brilliant main character who makes me laugh out loud at her antics, supported by her best friend Livvie she wants Connor to experience Christmas magic. It’s a book I known I will read again nearer Christmas, thank you Rebecca for yet another enjoyable book about living and working in a campervan.

Loved following Flora through the trials and tribulations of her life. A great feisty lady who knows her own mind. But was she wise to give up everything and go on the road? You never know if you don’t take a chance!

With grateful thanks to netgalley for an early copy in return for an honest opinion.
What an utterly fabulous Christmas book. Its full of just everything we associate withe the festivities and such a feel good factor can highly recommend this outstandingly beautiful book ❤

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this cute Christmas book'! This was a cute story that really gets you in the Christmas mood-even in September! I loved all of the Christmas references to food, movies (especially my favorite-Home Alone!) and traditions. The plot was a fun and unique idea of a traveling pop up shop in a van and I loved following along. I did find the main character to be immature and whiny so that did make it hard to connect sometimes. For instance I don't think when you show up late to work (multiple times) and then take money from the drawer without permission and break the rules on a known gift wrap policy and get fired for your behavior that referring to your boss as a Scrooge makes sense rather than admitting you have a problem with responsibility and decision making you need to work on and I think there were a few times there were missed opportunities for character reflection and growth. Flora was funny though and I wanted the best for her character despite her flaws. Overall this is a cute holiday read and one of the more unique plots I have read in awhile!

I was so excited when I heard another Van Life book was coming and once again the truly lovely Rebecca has brought the giggles!

Flora loses her dream job and her boyfriend in quick succession and decides to take the plunge and try something new! She heads off to Lapland to try out festive van life.

I LOVE the Van life series and whilst we didn't rejoin Rosie and Aria (loved the nod to them though) it was fantastic to get to know a new group of Van lifers and amazing to watch new friendships grow.

Rebecca has a wonderful way of writing real women, women you can relate to in all their awkward, vulnerable, quirky beauty. I adore her books, they honestly warm my little heart. This year she has definitely become one of my favourite authors and I get excited whenever I hear there's another book in the horizon. I cannot recommend them high enough, if you love a cozy, funny, friendship filled novel Rebecca is your girl.

Now when you see the name Rebecca Rasin on a cover, you know that you can settle into a good cosy read. She has done it again although if you want to get the most enjoyment out of this book then save it to read in December, or maybe November to get you in the mood for the festive season. I always love the idea of owning or even living in a van with which I can travel the country, seeing new places and most of all chatting to so many people. So this book combined with the fantastical idea of running a Christmas shop, was a winner from the start!
Well written, cosy and comforting. Great escapism. Thanks.

A quirky heroine, a lovely story and filled with festive vibes - just fabulous! I really enjoyed this well written story, the author really brings her characters and setting to life.

I love Rebecca’s books but this one is definitely one of my favourites to date. I loved that the main character was a little more quirky than your usual heroin. The plot was perfect for a Christmas read and set in a place I also dream of visiting. Thank you netgalley for early access to this book.
