Christmas at the Board Game Cafe hits all the right notes. It was a comfy cozy read and I can definitely see it as a Hallmark Channel Christmas movie. The characters were very well drawn and I felt like I knew them. I loved the friendships between the characters - they felt very real and I was sorry that they didn't exist in real life. It was very easy to identify with the main character: an overachieving perfectionist who felt like she didn't measure up, wondered what she was actually supposed to be doing with her life, and despaired of ever finding a loving relationship like her friends had with their partners. Set against the backdrop of a charming English village that is financially struggling, the main character, a Christmas curmudgeon, sets out to use her marketing skills to come up with a plan to help her friend and other local shopkeepers drum up business during the holiday season and ends up unwillingly spearheading the entire community wide event. It's a lovely story and I was sad when it was over.

If you are looking for a feel good book with a Christmas theme, definitely do not miss this one!

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced reader copy of this book.

Cozy up this holiday season!🎄
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Luckily got an ARC for this one and I was surprised how fast I read through it. It was a really cozy holiday read that I might reread as the holidays come by.

I enjoyed that it had ‘modern day’ things such as the jobs etc and the MC wasn’t overly sickly sweet (as I see in other holiday romances) but it didn’t really feel cringe for me at any point. I feel like so many holiday romances can lean on cringe due to the whole Christmas vibe, etc.

Definetely a book to read by the fireplace 🔥☕️

Jennifer page does it again with another amazing story of family,friendship and love with a added bonus of some Christmas magic!!! I almost shouting at the pages for these two to stop mucking about and get together. In all seriousness this book also highlights the need for community and to support small local businesses and each other. Well done Jen......when's the next one?!!!! ❤️📚

I am loving all of the Christmas reads that I read lately. Christmas at the Board Game Café was my latest and I loved it. Don’t miss this one.

Another story following a group of friends in a small village. I enjoyed Kate's installment. I'd recommend the whole series though it does read fine alone, it's better if you know the background from the first two books. This one is full of Christmas and moving past childhood trauma to become a happier person.

I enjoyed the book and the characters. I would not change anything about the book. I love Kate's growth as the main character and how she came out on the other side of the issue. I thought the plot was entertaining, but it had a lot of ups and downs. Kate tried hard to remain true to herself and her best friends. I would recommend this book because it is an emotional rollercoaster.
