Nice love story

As always with Nancy Naigle, it's a sweet love story. Community. Happiness. Real life. Nice narration.

Not as good as other Nancy Naigle Christmas books.

I loved the earlier Nancy Naigle Christmas books. This book was really disappointing. The plot was all over the place. There were way too many characters. There were many pages that felt like I was reading Pinterest with descriptions of ornaments furniture rooms to great detail. This was boring to me.The relationship between Sheila and Tucker was forced and.lacked chemistry. Usually Nancy Naigle focuses on relationships. I loved her dialogue and tender, caring between characters. This time the focus on the romantic relationship. didn’t come until the end of the book. The narrator made the character sound like teenagers. Save your money and find a different Nancy Naigle Christmas book to enjoy.

Christmas in Cringe nut Ridge

It’s hard to know where to begin. I was continually lashed with unfathomable hot air and utter UTTER nonsense, Either I was sputtering up this author’s sugary Hallmark take on life, while sounding like my cat producing a GIANT fur ball, or I was yelling at my sound system to bloody well get real! The machine gun use of the word ‘perfect!’ had me wanting to stop listening or throw something at the wall! .. You can’t imagine how much philosophizing I had to do to survive this, this, collection of words ..
The bottom line is, Christmas isn’t about decorations that are chosen, bought and arranged in an eye rolling, laughably anal fashion or is it about a formulaic candy coated view of the most brain numbing side of middle America. The idealism ponged beyond anything I could describe at this minute. Just know it was a pass outable kind of pong ..
I realise the author has buckets of this baloney out there. The lady has the genre tied up like a kipper and no doubt is raking the coffers in, but it’s crap! I honestly weep for the ever declining mediocrity in our world, seeping in to our lives, as this novel ‘seeped in’ from across the pond😝.. And before you say ‘well, what have you done Ms. Moany’ I write dramatizations that appear on television. The only reason I listened to this rubbish was because my finger slipped and I accidentally spent my credit. I quickly realised I needed to bear with it before I could comment on the unbelievable yuk I was subjecting myself to. But it had to be said. And you’ll be pleased to know the best part of listening to Christmas at Forgettable Rubbish Ridge was leaving this review. Christmas indeed. Ho-Ho-Ho
