Pages: 272
Publisher: Harper Impulse
Released: 1st of February 2018

Welcome to the little cafe in Copenhagen where the smell of cinnamon fills the air and the hot chocolate is as smooth as silk.

Publicist Kate Sinclair’s life in London is everything she thought she wanted: success, glamour and a charming boyfriend. Until that boyfriend goes behind her back and snatches a much sought-after promotion from her.Heartbroken and questioning everything, Kate needs to escape.

Leaving behind rush hour and late nights in the office for a city break in beautiful Copenhagen, Kate discovers how to live life ‘the Danish way’. From candles and cosy nights in to the easy smiles of tall, gorgeous Vikings and eating your body weight in pastries (ok, that’s just her), the city offers her a new perspective.

Can the secrets of hygge and happiness lead her to her own happily-ever-after?

What I Have to Say 

This book made me long for a cosy blanket and a nice warm fire with a lovely cup of hot chocolate to while away the night. It made me want to explore Copenhagen and learn more about Hygge. It really did a good job of showing the concept and Kate's reaction to it. 

It delved into the differences between Danish culture and the more work orientated, busy lifestyle of the UK. The difference between a fast paced job in London and a nice little café in Denmark was very clear how very different things were. 

I loved the group dynamic of the journalists who went on the Copenhagen trip, how they were all changed and brought together in different ways by Hygge and the café. Each of the characters were so different and were changed in different ways throughout the books. 

I really can't wait to read the next book and see more of Sophie's story. 

My thanks go to Netgalley and Harper Collins for providing me with this copy for review.
