About this listen

‘Full of quirky characters, friendship and humour, you will devour this engaging and heartwarming novel in one sitting’ – Sunday Express’ S Magazine

‘My new favourite author’ – Holly Martin

Becca Fletcher has always hated Christmas but she has her reasons for being Little Miss Grinch. Now, though, she can’t avoid her version of ho-ho-hell – because she’s travelling to the Comfort Food Cafe to spend the festive season with her sister Laura and her family. She’s expecting mulled wine, 24-hour Christmas movie marathons and all kinds of very merry torture.

Little does Becca know that the Comfort Food Cafe is like no other place on earth. Perched on a snow-covered hill, it’s a place full of friendship where broken hearts can heal, new love can blossom and where Becca’s Christmas miracle really could happen – if only she can let it…

Inviting readers new and old to pull up a cosy armchair, Christmas at the Comfort Food Cafe is the novella-length follow-up to the 2016 best-seller Summer at the Comfort Food Cafe.

I really enjoyed the first in the series but feel they should have kept the same narrator for consistency. I can see the reasoning - first person from the POI of a different woman - but if they made that decision they should have given notes to the new narrator. In book 1 Cheri is pronounced shh-ree. In this it is Sherry. Matt has relocated from London but in book 2 he has a very pronounced Dorset accent. It isn’t Rachel Louise Miller’s fault and she does an ok job. I see they have used yet another narrator for book 3, so I think I will try to finish book 2 and leave it there. These inconsistencies are too jarring.

I think I enjoyed this second book more than the first if that's even possible as I loved that too.

I found it really easy to picture the characters and landscape through the story telling.
Yes it's a pretty predictable storyline as most books of this genre are, I still enjoyed it and liked the coziness of it, I found myself grinning at some of the things that happened, I must have looked like a loon to anyone watching lol.

I did find the writing a bit juvenile at times, I think that's the best way I can describe it, when someone writes.. it is, I am, was not etc instead of any abbreviations throughout the whole book it reminds me of trying to hit a word count on an essay, it did detract a bit for me especially when there were a few in a short space of time

Anyway I'm off to read the rest, enjoy fellow reader

I didn’t vibe with the perspective of Becca (Laura’s sister) as much as I did with first book and Laura herself she had some odd outbursts in this book but I enjoyed the book anyway. Loved the narrator too x

Not as good as first one but still good
