My Review
As you might have been able to guess from the title, this book is set one day in winter. Featuring a variety of different characters who are all somehow intertwined, the book tells their stories somehow in such a short time frame but in so much detail.
The characters were written really well – there were certain characters that you were meant to find despicable/frustrating and others you were meant to like. There was the odd character I was also indifferent too also but I think that may have been intentional on the part of the author.
The conclusion of the book was heartwarming yet sad yet affirming. Some characters seemed to get a second chance at life which was great whereas those who walked all over others did not get as much redemption. I am intrigued to know what happened with Lila, I predict a downfall for her that isn’t as pretty as she is.
Overall a great book and one I’m recommending to others.
About The Author
Shari Low is the No1 best-selling author of over 20 novels, including One Day In Winter, A Life Without You, The Story Of Our Life, With Or Without You, Another Day In Winter and her latest release, This Is Me.
And because she likes to over-share toe-curling moments and hapless disasters, she is also the shameless mother behind a collection of parenthood memories called Because Mummy Said So.
Once upon a time she met a guy, got engaged after a week, and twenty-something years later she lives near Glasgow with her husband, a labradoodle, and two teenagers who think she’s fairly embarrassing except when they need a lift.
