I love a good giggle! Thus said, if you do too then you might want to read this privately as along with giggling I might have had some outright snorting laughter.🤣 (

I picked this book up on a miserable lockdown November day from one of our local book boxes. It proved to be the perfect remedy for a bit of November blues... an amusing, real, festive romance packed full of snow, tinsel and grumpy men... just as you’d expect a good Christmas book to be. It’s a classic feel good Christmas chic lit, contrived with a happily ever after ending but the perfect pick me up on a grey winters day. (

I'd not read anything by Zara Stoneley previously, but I found the cover of No One Cancels Christmas rather appealing in its simplicity, and the blurb definitely sounded like the sort of story I'd enjoy reading. And I wasn't wrong!

The story is told in the first person, from the point of view of the newly single Sarah, and the action takes place in both Canada and the UK. It begins just before the Christmas holidays with Sarah, a travel agent, deciding to fly out to Canada to sort out the Shooting Star Mountain resort, which has been receiving very negative reviews of late. Here she meets and experiences the owners, Will, the brooding one, and his brother Ed, the work-shy one.

The main characters are likeably flawed, with issues to resolve, and the secondary characters add colour to the story. I particularly liked Poppy, the child who attaches herself to Sarah on the flight over and Rosie the dog. Animals are such knowing creatures. But my favourite character would have to be Sam's mum, Ruth, as she provides some of the comedic moments without being aware of it - which of course adds to the comedy value.

I enjoyed reading this book and I will look out for more stories from Ms Stoneley.

My thanks to the author for a free digital copy of this book to review. (

Dear Ms. Hall,

I am not normally the type to complain, but (anybody who says this usually is the type to complain, and the but confirms it) on this occasion I feel compelled.

But it's all about expectations, isn't it? Sometimes we can't see the beauty in the things we haven't asked for, we only look for what we expect, what we thought we were promised. And our disappointment at the little niggles clouds over the wonderful parts of life until we can't see them.
