When Ellie left Cornwall twenty years ago, she never looked back. She built a new life in America while her mother remarried, now living in a tiny Brooklyn apartment, subsisting in a mediocre job and dating Tyler—a reliably nice guy. Who needs sparks when you have stability? But when her father faces a medical emergency, Ellie feels a deep calling to return to St. Tilda’s, hoping to help him—and perhaps mend their fractured relationship. What she finds, however, is a past she had long buried and her best friend Liam, the character she cherished most in every childhood memory. As Christmas approaches, Ellie helps run the pub and reconnects with the person she once was. Even as a dispirited, angry teen, she had loved deeply, and she struggles to understand why she pushed this lovely village out of her life. Grown-up Liam still sparks mischief—but also a chemistry Ellie can no longer ignore. In her search for truth, Ellie explores the past to find her way forward. Moving swiftly and brimming with friends, family, Guinness, and cakes, this small-town holiday tale is utterly delightful from start to finish. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
