  We are back with the Cornish Cove series with Kim Nash's Making Memories at the Cornish Cove . It was published by Boldwood Books on April 17th. You can read my review of  Hopeful Hearts at the Cornish Cove here and Finding Family at the Cornish Cove   here .    It’s never too late… After five husbands and five broken hearts, Lydia feels like she’s always been chasing something.

The 12 Christmases of You & Me by Jennifer Joyce #Review

 

The 12 Christmases of You and Me by Jennifer Joyce is published today!


What if you could go back in time and fix the biggest mistake of your life?

Two years ago, Maisie’s best friend walked out of her life and she hasn’t heard from him since. When she wakes up in 1994, she naturally assumes she’s dreaming. But when she finds herself in the past again the next night and her actions in the dream alter her present-day life, she begins to wonder if she’s somehow hopping back in time. And if she is time-travelling, can she save her friendship with Jonas?

When Maisie is forced to relive Christmases of the past, will she face up to her mistakes, or make them all over again?

The 12 Christmases of You & Me is a magical tale of friendship, first loves, and learning to live in the present.


 My Thoughts

This has a magical feel to it as it mixes time travel with romance and a touch of Christmas! Set in the run up to Lily-s wedding, you follow three friends, Maisie, Lily and Jonas. As Maisie time travels back to Christmases past, you gradually learn more and more about the three friends and what has driven some of them apart. I enjoyed the humorous touches when Maisie realises that with the benefit of hindsight, she knows more about popular culture than her friends.

    There are plenty of characters involved in this story, especially Lily and Maisie's families and you certainly feel the pull of friendship and family bonds throughout. There is also the quandary which Maisie faces that if she is to travel back in time, she risks altering what happens in the future. This has a festive, light tone throughout and is well worth a place on a festive TBR.

In short: Wedding bells and Christmas lights
