Managed to squeeze in this Christmas book before the festive season came to a close, and I’m so glad I did, it was lovely. I thought the premise sounded a bit bizarre - random strangers collecting at a beach hut over Christmas? How does that work? But actually, in context it made perfect sense and was such a warm read. This disparate group of people escaping from their real lives and coming together to help each other out. It all came to a happy but not totally sappy ending.
