Cosy Christmas Book Club Chat
We've been reading Emma Heatherington's Maybe Next Christmas. What did you all think of it?
I’ve realised I’m going to miss Cosy Christmas Book Club after this. For now, let’s talk all things Maybe Next Christmas by Emma Heatherington.
What did you all think?
I’ll start first. As usual here’s a little video to get us in the swing of things. Grab a cuppa tea or a hot chocolate and give it a watch then come back here and join in the comments. (Spoiler alerts on this video though naturally so if you’re not up to date on your reading, swing past and join in later. I’ll keep an eye on the comments over coming days and join in with any late comers.)
Oh, and if you fancy liking and subscribing to my YouTube Channel that would be ace. Plenty more bookish content on the way!
I’ve realised I’m a Christmas Books convert and am going to try to fit a few more of Emma Heatherington’s in before the festive season truly leaves us. And If I can fit all of Emma’s in AND all those missing Karen Swan festive books I’ve missed too, then all the better.
So…what did you all think? Agree with me? Disagree with me? Fire away and I’ll chime in with you.

Better late than never with my comments!
I enjoyed reading this book as much as the Karen Swan Christmas book.
I loved all the characters and totally agreed with your observations
Jemima has hit the nail on the head with the theme of this story, Love and Loss. The whole story revolves around each characters devastating Losses through death and/or breakup. In Ollie and Bea it is both. Emma has even given Ollie’s career as a Cardiac Nurse.
With this ongoing sense of Loss throughout the story it is very clever how Emma has subtly yet strongly made “love” the dominant emotion.
The journey through the story starts with so much Loss and ends with so much Love, with only a few notes of loss in their backgrounds.
Very cleverly written.
