The Christmas Sisters

I read this book for a Christmas readathon, and I didn't expect much because I do not usually like holiday books. I am not a big fan of Hallmark movies and the like, so I had low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised, though. This book about three sisters who come together at Christmas time is actually quite good. Each sister is dealing with her own issues. They end up helping each other through their situations and healing some old family wounds in the process.

The book is set in Scotland, which is such a picturesque Christmas backdrop to the story. The small village setting is perfect for a holiday read. There are also scenes in New York City and references to the mountains in Washington State. Overall, the setting was a nice complement to the story line.

I found the female characters likable and relatable. They had enough layers to their personalities to keep me interested in their story arches. The male characters were a little one-dimensional, but I didn't mind it. It was just a nice, pleasant read for the holiday season.

You just can't go wrong with Sarah Morgan book at Christmas. It's the perfect blend of everything you want in a Christmas romance but always has a great family story too, and I loved the family in this one. They had such an interesting background which was really touching and made me tear up a few times. Can't recommend this author enough.

Such a wonderful, heartwarming Christmas story. What brings this unintended family together may have been a devastating tragedy, but what heals and brings them closer is the ability to finally face that tragedy. I loved the flow, scenery, characters and the journey each of them traveled. Reading how they find their strength, recognized insecurities, and eventually learn that love is worth risk reminds me that in life while not all is predicable, it is worth exploring.
