Sunflower Street #8

This winter, join Ivy, Zach and Tabitha as they prepare for their first Christmas together.
Ivy is shocked when long- held secrets are revealed and there’s an unwelcome visitor in Wisteria Hollow who desperately wants to speak to her.

Zach throws himself into village life and Christmas preparations as he gets ready to celebrate what he hopes will be a joyful festive holiday.

Tabitha is enjoying getting to know her niece, but she harbours concerns about Ivy’s relationship with her parents.

Will there be snowflakes and Christmas cakes on Sunflower Street or will the ghosts of Christmas past come back to haunt them all?

This is the eighth short story set on Sunflower Street and while it can be read as a standalone, it is best enjoyed as part of the series.

This book was so well written and great to carry on from the last one and hear more about the characters and full of heartache but warmth and happiness to. Romantic and full of families to well worth reading.

Then her mum and dad turn up and they open up about their relationship and drop a bombshell on ivy can she cope with this and will she be close to them or not.

Ok

I'm happy to be done with this series. I liked all the characters and was thankful that the dreadful Roxie was only a blip in this book, I feel like it could've just been combined with the previous book. The Calix portion was resolved quickly. Her relationship with her parents and their attitude towards Ivy was finally explained and they've all seemingly moved on. It was underwhelming overall. I don't think I'll be reading more books by this author, I'm just not a fan of their writing style.

Brilliant addition to the series

Another great book by the author, this being the eighth in the series. I do enjoy these stories and at a time when things look bleak and dark with the world, it's great to escape into a different world and read a heart warming story.
A full 5/5 for me and thoroughly deserved. If you have not read the series please do, great characters and heart warming stories.

A lovely heartwarming novel to read. I love series books as I get lost in the characters lives, it’s lovely to see how their life story plays out. To see how they overcome any obstacles in their lives is inspirational. Love it.

Snowflakes and Christmas Cakes on Sunflower Street

I really loved reading this book. It has everything suspense, adventure and love. Surprises along the way and a very happy ending. I loved it included the animal adventures.

[JANET CALLOW · Rating 4 out of 5]

it really is “cosy”.

This story is enjoyable, full of love. There are two main events, which enhanced the main plot of two young people meeting and fall in love. A pleasant, cosy read.

Great cosy Christmas tale in Sunflower Street, with Ivy and Zack and not forgetting Aunt Tabitha who is fab and Merlin the dog.

Poignant

A wonderful festive read that showed how hearts can be healed and how you can find your hearts desire when you least expect it. A charming story.
