Review: Crazy Christmas family fun!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 1, 2012
This story is exactly what Christmas is all about, crazy families getting together to share food, gifts and each other's company. Each character in the book has a fair chunk of storyline to themselves, but Mathews manages to intertwine their lives perfectly, so you neither get lost or confused, you simply feel the buzz of Christmas.Juliet, the main character, is an absolute saint - it takes a special woman to put up with everything that's thrown at her. I often had the urge to slap both her children and husband, Rick, and tell them to appreciate what their mother and wife does for them. I love when a book can get you emotionally charged like that!There are some laugh out loud moments, frustrating `shout at the page parts' and a few really sad scenes that will have you grabbing a handful of Kleenex, making With Love at Christmas a serious must-read. I really enjoyed being part of the Joyce family Christmas, it got me right in the festive spirit, and I now can't wait for my own hectic family one!Review by Francesca Verbeeten on behalf of BestChickLit.com
