So while doing my monthly book haul I knew I needed something that was different from my usual preferred genre of crime/mystery/thriller, and since I was feeling Christmassy- I picked up the most enticing looking cover on the shelf - The Christmas Party. I knew I would be busy over Christmas so i was hoping it would be something easy to pick up, get into and not too complicated. I got exactly that!
While The Christmas Party was quite obvious - I knew where it was headed! There were a few twists and turns with not so central characters which made it all the better for me as I found them the most interesting.
What was good about the writing was the characters- thy were spot on! I don't work in an office but in any work place you know people like these and therefore they were all instantly relatable. They were described so well and you had a picture in your head of these characters from the minute you met them. It also meant that you were supporting them throughout the book in the hope for a happy ending!
I would give the book 3.5 out of 5 because the characters made it for me, while the predictability was the mor riff putting.
In saying that it was exactly what I was looking for this Christmas and was a fantastic way of getting lost in you own busy Christmas festivities!
I would love to read more from this author as I really enjoyed the general way she wrote her books. If anyone can recommend anything by Carole Matthews I am open to reading and writing more reviews on my thoughts :)
