Christmas Island was cozy romance that revolved around Holly and Tor retreating from the drama of city life to an island off the coast of Norway and finding love and spirit of holiday. It was about Norwegian customs and traditions, holiday and food, community, friendship, family and love.

What I loved most was Norwegian folklore, tradition, customs, show more food, Norwegian words for traditional food and their meaning, how they celebrate Christmas, and festive and atmospheric description of island. Holly and Tor’s fishing trips were interesting. I didn’t know how fishermen catch crabs and lobsters until I read it in this book. What happened to both Holly and Tor was a mystery and wasn’t revealed until near climax which made the story more intriguing.

Overall, Christmas Island was cozy, heart-warming Christmassy read with the hygge feel, rich in Norwegian setting, tradition and food. If you love less drama and slow romance you will like this.
