How The In-Laws Wrecked Christmas (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Given this is a short story, I found the characters to be well drawn and I really got into the story, albeit that it took be about half an hour to read! Ben's daughter is adorable and his parents are, of course, a complete nightmare, and as for the ex-wife: arggggh!! I am sure a lot of people will be able to relate to some of the torture and dread which Anna experiences over Christmas in this delightful short story from Fiona Gibson.The ending leaves some things to the imagination (including the nature of Anna's relationship with J) and in my opinion, easily leaves it open for a revisit to these characters in the future (and given how quickly I warmed to them, I would like that!)This story obviously does not feature the ideal fairy tale Christmas but it is likely to include threads of many peoples reality!I downloaded this book as a free book from Amazon - what a festive bargain!! I was torn when it came to this book. I liked the concept of Anna going to meet her future in laws however the ending had me scratching my head. I was like WHAT??? I wont spoil it for you but I honestly didn’t see that coming. I also didn’t like how rude and pretentious her in laws where. They didn’t even give her a chance and hated her from the moment they laid eyes on her. They were snobby and I personally though Anna was wonderful. Down to earth and a real caring person they would be lucky to have her in the family. Plus I hated how her boyfriend never stuck up for her, who does that?So needless to say I was 50/50 when it came to the read. I loved parts and not so much others. If you like feel free to check it out its roughly 60 pages and you will read it in no time. Maybe you will like it more than I did.
