Fairytale of New York

⁴Fairytale of New York is a delightful, heartwarming read that absolutely nails the charm of Manhattan during the holiday season. Rosie is such a relatable protagonist—flawed yet endearing—and her journey of healing and opening herself up to love again felt genuine and earned. I especially loved how her relationships with Ed and Marnie added depth and warmth to the story. The florist shop setting was beautifully described, making me want to step right into Kowalski’s.

The writing is whimsical and descriptive, and while the plot is steady and satisfying, it does lean a little predictable in places. That said, it’s exactly the kind of comfort read I was looking for. If you’re after a feel-good romance with believable characters, strong friendships, and just the right amount of emotional depth, this book is a perfect pick.

It’s not quite a 5-star read for me, but it’s close—highly recommend if you’re in the mood for something cosy and uplifting.
