Don’t worry though amidst all of the relationship building in the story there was also plenty of Christmas cheer thrown into the mix making this one a lovely holiday tale set wonderful place to be during the holiday season. Alix was raised by career minded parents, careless and neglectful, so that she never felt loved by them. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong, but if that was the case then Christy would have told her. For serious heat that will see temperatures nudging 86F (30C), coupled with long daylight hours, a trip to Sri Lanka is a good way to escape both the December chill and the inevitable festive frenzy.

Even if she could talk about it with her friend, which she couldn’t, Alix’s way of dealing with things was different from hers.Switch the annual Christmas Day walk in the forest for a Desert Safari or go dune bashing in Al Qudra, or for an equally beautiful but less high-energy activity, head to Al Qudra Lake for a spot of exotic birdwatching. Their lives had been intertwined since childhood, and they knew every little detail about one another. The people were horrible, and they made horrible choices, which meant the ending could only be one thing: horrible.

I devoured this latest book in only a few hours while poolside, on the hottest day of my holiday, and it did slightly cool me off, reading about such wintery activities, while completely absorbing me within the pages, which I was reading happily. There had been a time when Christy had shared everything with Alix, but that had changed the day she’d married Seb.

This book was such a cute christmas book for me to read and I recieved this book as a gift over christmas. Follow Alix and Christy in The Christmas Escape, a Christmas story of two friends who are in Lapland.Okay, so you won’t be able to escape Christmas completely in the UK but that’s not to say you can’t enjoy some time away in the remotest parts of the country. Inland excursions take in the sloth bears and leopards of Wilpattu National Park and a stay in the hill station of Kandy. Active itineraries, aimed at adults accompanied by children aged 10 years and over, include cycling through Hanoi, a two-day cruise on a traditional junk in Halong Bay, an overnight homestay with a hill-tribe family and cooking sessions. Stay away from the busy capital Las Palmas and stick to the quieter parts of the island like Puerto de Mogan, a small port in the southwest. Would suit a dra f t loving family with an interest in local wildlife (mice, bats, rats and the occasional squirrel) and money to burn.

With the help of the sorting hat, Professor Hieronymus Hexfoot will train you muggles into experienced wizards!When Christy does something wild for omce, it has a lasting effect on both their lives and changes the nature of their friendship.
