I’m so excited to be returning to Ivy Hatch! Christmas at the Vintage Bookshop of Memories features Katie, Prue’s best friend, who has had some setbacks in her life due to a scumbag ex, and is staying with Prue over the holidays where Prue is due to get married to Elliott. I loved Katie’s romance with Austin, a farmer, and loved the Christmas setting. This book had all the charm of the first novel, swirly pretty dresses, nice lunches with girlfriends, and is just a cozy romance to curl up with. I loved reading about Katie and Austin spending time together Christmas shopping, and liked that the book dealt with her past trauma from previous relationships where she was hurt. And who doesn’t love a Christmas wedding? 5/5 stars. ( )
