MY SYNOPSIS
Imagine
This: You are in a relationship that's been ongoing for almost
a year. You love him. You find his surfer-boy charm irresistible. Though you
wish you guys lived in the same vicinity and you didn't have to journey miles
for quick, blissful shags over the weekend.
Then he proposes. And you are thrown in a whirlwind of
wedding preparations. A wedding that's happening on Christmas!
Your whole family is excited for you. Except your
sister—who would have been your maid-of-honour—decides she's not going to put
her family through the potential snowstorm risk they might be facing at the
decided venue.
You want simple. But your fiance's mum wants
extreme—"I'm not traveling miles so I could have some hot-dogs on a bench
and return." And suddenly a wedding that's supposed to be quick and easy
is looking difficult and stressful.
Hopefully, this year the mistletoe would work its magic
again and you are going to have an amazing wedding without breaking-down...
Then your ex who jilted you weeks before your wedding
comes back into the scene—precisely a few houses away—with his adorable dog...
Uh-oh.
Thea's
chaotic, Christmas wedding summed up for your delight.
My Review.
Great storyline. Not, really unique, but enjoyable all the
same. What with Thea's parents contemplating on moving out into a
low-maintenance home, fearing the prospect they might get old and get put in
homes? And also, Thea's sister Emily who's going through post-partum
depression. A star! ── ★
The main characters are Great. It's told in the point of view
of mother and two daughters who have funny voices and different, likable
personalities. There's Anna, the mum, who's fearing the prospect of becoming an
oldie cliche complete with a home and a giant ball of crocheting thread to
knit. There's Emily, worried London is no more a safe place to live because
someone stole her pram. You'd also love Thea, who has to scream how much She
loves her fiance into the phone so her ex snooping in through the back-gate
wouldn't miss a word. A star!── ★★
You'd also love the funny cast of characters! There's
Mike, Anna's husband who won't take being called old because he's only in his
early seventies. There's also Charlotte, Mike's younger ex who's popping in and
out of Emily's home without invitation helping out with the kids and helping
herself with all their bottles of wine. There's also Rich, Thea's ex who thinks
he can win her back by flashing by with his dog. Star to all these characters
and more.── ★★★
A very funny festive read. So I give it a star too.── ★★★★
Though a sequel, it can be enjoyed as a standalone novel.
(Not following the stereotype perception about sequels, this sequel is even
more enjoying than its prequel.)
My rating: Four out
of Five stars!
A Merry Mistletoe Wedding is available on Amazon.
I recommend this read to anyone who loves their festive
titles full of humour, miracles the festive season brings and lots of adorable
characters!
My last review of 2015, so a Happy New Year!
