2026: Will a New York Christmas lead to all she never knew she wanted?
After the worst year of her life, speechwriter and introvert Flora Bell is looking forward to a calm Christmas: home, alone and as peaceful as possible. But when her chaotic mum and sister turn up out of the blue to take Flora on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to New York, it’s clear the universe has other ideas.
When Flora meets cartoonist Ethan in a Greenwich Village coffee shop – who asks for her help to write a best man’s speech – fate and joy seem to be taking the wheel for the first time in her life.
But just as she dares to believe her New York fairytale might be coming true, she discovers something that changes everything.
Will Flora ever be able to reclaim her quiet existence?
New York City
The city is known for its extravagant and utterly gorgeous Christmas set up! There are so many locations mentioned and in passing too so you get a real sense of the city when it is dressed up to the nines!
When the snow falls, the city really comes to life and there are a few coffee shops in the book to tuck yourself in and read until your heart is content.
The various places this novel takes us shows that the author got under the skin of the city that never sleeps but took out some little known gems and nuances that really sets its atmosphere apart.
