The prequel to A CHRISTMAS CAROL— A sweet Regency Christmas romance
Here at last is the untold story of Scrooge's doomed engagement
Belle Endicott and Ebenezer Scrooge are young, bookish, hardworking Londoners drawn together by button-making. His brand-new factory threatens her family’s tiny shop, yet they fall in love and start planning their future. When personal and business calamities strike, they confront them vigorously side by side, but ultimately something has to give. We know what it is. They do not. (From Goodreads)
Review:
~I’d like to thank the author for sending me a free copy in exchange for my honest review!~
Ahh, this was such a beautiful and poetic book, I loved it!
Although I haven’t yet read the Christmas carol, I know that The Red Button is the perfect prequel. It shows the development of Scrooge as a character, and how he ultimately becomes the person we know in The Christmas Carol.
One thing that I also really loved about this book, is that the writing was perfect for the book. It was beautiful and poetic, and it definitely fits the role of prequel to a classic.
All in all, I loved this book, from start to finish. From the beautiful writing and loveable characters to the ending that left us all happy, this is definitely a Christmas must-read!
Things I Loved:
-The writing, characters, plot... Honestly, everything!
-Also the cover is so pretty!
Things I Didn't Love:
-It was a beautiful book, I have no complaints!
In Conclusion:
If you're looking for a sweet Christmas read, or perhaps a companion to the well-loved classic, A Christmas Carol, definitely read this one!
