Memories in December by Gina Ardito
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 cranky stars


This book jumps right into the storyline, but it is fine read as a stand alone book. Siobhan if single living in the family home in Snug Harbour, her sister tries to sell it from under her, but she soon puts a stop to that as her parents said she could live in the house for 7 years after their death. She had over 6 years to go and tells her sister such.


Siobhan's slightly eccentric grandmother rings her from the airport to say she has arrived to keep her company. Not that Siobhan wanted or needed her company!!!


Siobhan or Bonbon as her grandmother calls her collects her from the airport as she couldn't leave her there. She always managed to get herself in some sort of trouble, so wanted house guest or not she had one.

Dropping her home, she couldn't believe it her childhood crush, Jimmy, was moving into his parents home. Everything for her was so embarrassing as her grandmother calls out to him. This is the start of plenty of antics especially when she is hired by Jimmy's brother Justin who was also back in town, to take photographs for his company brochure.


Siobhan is a professional photographer with her own studio shop, but times are hard, especially in the winter months. She could not afford to turn work away, so she agrees to do them. She is very good at what she does.

Her grandmother, Althea, thinks she is a matchmaker and tries her best for Siobhan and Jimmy, but she realises she has her own problems when she meets up with Lou, who 40 years ago was her saviour on one horrific night.


I loved reading this book, it was heartwarming and it drew you into it. Althea and her antics were brilliantly portrayed, she was my favourite character.

A recommended read.
