ABOUT THIS BOOK As the snowflakes start to fall, the village of Holly Cove welcomes a new tenant to the beautiful old cottage on the beach... For lifestyle magazine journaist Tia Armstrong, relationships, as well as Christmas, have lost all their magic. Yet Tia is up against a Christmas deadline for her latest article 'Love is, actually, all around'... So Tia heads to Holly Cove where the restorative sea air, and rugged stranger Nic, slowly but surely start mending her broken heart. Tia didn't expect a white Christmas, and she certainly never dared dream that all her Chiristmas wishes might just come true... MY REVIEW Where do I start with what has to be one of my favourite festive stories ever?! Beautifully depicted, with characters that will swallow up your heart, it is difficult to put into words just how special SNOWFLAKES OVER HOLLY COVE by Lucy Coleman really is but I will try. Tia Armstrong has lost her mum, the one constant person in her world, and is struggling to get back into the swing of her old life. So when her boss gives her an assignment in the quiet seaside town of Holly Cove, she jumps at the chance to escape her memories and throw herself into writing this article which centres around love and all the different ways it can be kept alive. It is not long before Tia makes new friends, from the housekeeper to the man living on the beach, and even the handsome owner of the beach cottage where she is staying. As Tia settles into her new role she starts to see the true meaning of love and friendship but like all things in life it is rarely plain sailing, and with plenty of misunderstandings and strong emotions at play, will Tia find what she needs to move on and be happy? The setting is sublime and the author has a real knack for painting the perfect picture for the reader. I loved all of the characters in this story and would love to see more from them in the future, and I found myself reading the final chapters quite slowly because I didn't want to leave them behind when I turned the last page. There are moments that will make you laugh out loud and there are moments where you will be scrambling for the tissues, but there will never be a moment where you regret picking up this book. SNOWFLAKES OVER HOLLY COVE by Lucy Coleman is everything you want and more from a novel, not just a Christmas novel, and I highly recommend it to fiction fans the world over. I can't wait to read what's next from Lucy Coleman!
