Snow Fall,Family Revelations and a hint of Romance(Friends and Neighbours -Christmas Reunions Book Review)



Friends and Neighbours-Christmas Reunions -Book Review 

Snowfall,Family Revelations and a hint of Romance!!

Friends and Neighbours-Christmas Reunions is  the second book in the Friend’s and Neighbours series by Ruth Torjussen.The book can however be read as a stand-alone novel.

The novel centres around the lives and loves of the residents in a street in Stoke.

My favourite characters were Jenny and Hannah.Jenny was the matriarch of the street and I found her character really relatable.I also like Hannah as was rooting for her to meet the man of her dreams.

My favourite part of the book was the strand in the story involving Polly and her family.

I also like that the book is set slightly in the future,and makes you think what life will be like if the climate continues to decline.


Initially I wasn’t sure whether this book would be for me as the book was based around climate change,but it deals with issue in a way that makes you think of what life is going to be like if people don’t act on things now.


I would recommend this book to anyone who like’s sagas,as this book is very family orientated,and also if you are interested in climate change and the future effects,this book will make you think.


I’d love to read more about all the characters,particularly Jenny and Hannah.I am also looking forward to reading the previous book in this series.

Fate,Love and Magazines!!

  Fate,Love and Magazines!! Love by Design by Effie Kammenou Love by Design is book 2 in the Meraki Series.Although this book is in a series it can be read as a standalone novel. The book focuses on Mia Andarakis ,who has recently been promoted to work on a new magazine called Opul,and her relationship with magazine editor Nicholas Aristedis. My favourite characters were Mia and Nicholas,the characters were very well rounded and I really felt both characters as they had both gone through trauma in their lives. I loved the twist in the middle of the book which connected the lives of Mia and Nicholas,as well as the flashback chapters concerning what had made them the people they had become. I think the scenes written around Nicholas’s grief were well written,and grief can totally destroy you and I really felt for Nicholas. The book was a brilliant piece of romantic escapism,yet tackled some really difficult issues with some harrowing scenes. There wasn’t one thing I disliked about th...

  The Stranded -By Sarah Daniels Rebellion,Corruption and the Coalies!! The Stranded by Sarah Daniels is a standalone futuristic novel set in 2094.The story set aboard the Arcadia ship,where passengers have been stranded for years due to fears of a deadly virus. My favourite character are Esther and May Crossland,they are both strong female’s who stand up for what they believe in. All the characters felt real and you have real empathy for the passengers on the ship. My favourite scene is when Esther decides to help the rebellion and finally everyone realises she is more like her sister May then they realised. The book had me gripped from the beginning and I was rooting for the rebellion to succeed . Despite not being a genre I usually read,I absolutely loved this book.it was fast paced and kept my interest the whole way through.A real page turner This book is listed as a young adult but is suitable for the general adult market too and would appeal to anyone who likes futuristic boo...
