A simply delightful read!
This story gave me all the holiday feels. A fantastic mix of historical fiction, with fascinating historical references, lovable characters, one of them The Queen, and a beautiful, heartwarming love story. I loved it.

The cover artwork was lovely!!! I saw one description describe this book as The Crown meets when Harry Met Sally and Bridget Jones diary and that was pretty accurate. This book takes place over a few years and features Queen Elizabeth and her yearly Christmas speech along with Olive and Jack’s story. We start with Queen Elizabeth’s first Christmas broadcast. Jack is a chef and his character has been in London a short while but originally he is from New Orleans. I loved the parts about what he was cooking and when the action happened in the kitchen but would have loved an additional section with a few recipes ❤️ Overall an enjoyable book.
