Christmas on Midwinter Lane
Share the gifts of friendship and love this Christmas
Noelle adores Christmas, unlike her frosty neighbours. Last December, she moved into the middle cottage in a row of three, and hers was the only one adorned with sparkling lights and glittery decorations. She’s determined things will change this Christmas.
Adele has spent Christmas alone for longer than she cares to remember. Overweight, underpaid, and struggling to keep her home, the festive season is anything but festive for Adele. Why should this year be different?
Marcus now hates Christmas. Divorce papers landed on his mat this time last year, his ex-wife having left him the Christmas before. This Christmas she is marrying his former best friend. What reason is there to feel joyful?
Noelle believes Adele and Marcus have more in common than their hatred of the festive season. Playing match-maker won’t be easy, but Noelle is hoping, at the very least, they’ll share the gift of friendship.
And when a stranger rings her doorbell, Noelle may get a surprise gift of her own.

Short novella I read in a day. Noelle was such a chaotic relatable character along with her 2 neighbors who seem miserable. So much takes place in a short (less than 200 pages) story- including becoming friends with both neighbors, and falling in love. Some interesting relationships take place (Paul??) and her codependency on her friends were hilarious. Family tension assisted the chaos of the story, and overall I liked how it was wrapped up. Probably less than 5 stars but rounded up because it’s Christmas time!

Christmas on Midwinter Lane
I love a good Christmas setting book regardless of the time of the year and this book did not disappoint. I liked Noelle from the start of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes cosy romance. I really enjoy reading all of Emily's books that I have read so far which is the majority of them.

Christmas madness!
Noelle very dotty and self absorbed, looking for a man in the wrong way. She nearly gets her comeuppance but alls well that ends happily after - or does it?
