Best friends have relationship issues and Lapland, Sweden is ready to solve them all! One friend over plans her family’s life and the other refuses all romantic entanglements—their problems are so immense it feels almost like caricatures. But I liked this book because their internal struggles are ones I think many of us have faced, and have had them jeopardize relationships. Friendships, families, and true love are at stake. A very good Christmas book. Not my normal genre, but I liked it. ( )

Di certo non la solita Morgan, una storia natalizia che non mi ha convinto, del tutto al di sotto delle capacità di questa scrittrice.
Una vicenda piuttosto sciapa e dove le protagoniste femminili non brillano di certo per carattere e acume tanto da risultare piuttosto lagnose e poco simpatiche. Solo i personaggi maschili appaiono invece apprezzabili per una vicenda che si snoda lentamente senza che accada mai qualcosa di veramente interessante.
Insomma, un libro di cui avrei fatto volentieri a meno e che ho terminato solo per tigna.
Effettive due stelle e mezzo. ( )

La storia c'è, ed è anche bella, solo che ho trovato che alcune parti, secondo me non di primo piano, fossero un po' troppo sviluppate, troppo ampliate, mentre altre, secondo me più cruciali, fossero leggermente 'trascurate', non ben sviluppate. Rimane un bel libro, ma ... ( )

I greedily look forward to Sarah Morgan’s Christmas book every year. The setting is always the most fun for me, and this year we are going to Lapland in the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden! But first, we have to get there, and that involves quite a bit of drama (which I enjoyed, too.) Christy and her husband Seb have been having issues. They’re stretched too thin financially. Christy believes Seb is having an affair. Christy’s best friend Alex has always disliked Seb and made no secret of it. Christy has difficulty speaking up and just pretends things are fine when they are not. The family is supposed to go on a big vacation to Lapland, but Seb decides to send Christy and their daughter ahead alone, saying he has to work. A few questionable decisions by Christy/Seb in the parenting department made me more of an Alex fan TBH by this point. Fortunately, we soon get to Lapland and the setting was awesome! Northern lights. Snow. Pine forests. Reindeer. Saunas. Also, things are heating up between Alex and Zach--Seb’s best friend, who she professes to hate just a little too much. An absolutely charming Christmas story as always! ( )
