I’ve read most of Jo Thomas’ books, and every time I think she’s written her best, she releases another one that tops the last! I don’t want to sound clichéd, but A Recipe for Christmas is definitely her best yet—and I absolutely adore all her books!
The story follows Clara, who feels stuck while life moves on for her friends. So, when the opportunity for voluntary redundancy arises at work and her new boyfriend suggests moving to Switzerland with him, she jumps at the chance. Clara has always dreamed of the perfect Christmas—family, friends, festive cheer, and delicious food—so what could be more perfect than a Yuletide in the Swiss Alps?
Looking to fill her time, Clara signs up for a chocolate-making course, only to discover she’s in over her head. As her relationship starts to fizzle, she begins to wonder if she’ll ever have the Christmas she’s dreamed of.
Once again, Jo Thomas delivers wonderful storytelling, drawing readers into the heart of the setting. You can vividly picture the train station, the chocolate school, and even the aloof receptionist. The immersive experience made me feel like I was living the story alongside the characters, and I loved every single page.
