Review of ‘One Snowy Day’ by Shari Low, due to be published on 3 August 2025 by Boldwood Books.

The book follows the lives of four main characters, Jessie - wife, mother and newly retired hairdresser on her 65th birthday, her daughter Georgia - due to take over her mum’s salon whilst contemplating another offer, Alyssa - who runs the cafe across the road, and Lachlan - a builder who is in town for the Will reading of his late father.

Told over the course of one day, the story features characters old and new, and can be read as a standalone without any knowledge of Shari’s previous works.

A quick read, where you become invested in the outcomes of each character. A story of love and friendships, packed full of emotion.

Another great book by Shari Low and a recommended read.

It was fantastic to receive an advance copy of this latest novel by Shari Low and big thanks to net galley and the publisher. I am an avid reader of Shari’s books and I love that although they can operate as stand alone stories, she usually adds some of her well loved characters and locations so that we feel like we’re coming home to a friendly environment.
I like the format of setting the action over the course of one day and breaking down the action over the hours in that day. However I’m also happy that there is an epilogue to this story as I was keen to know how things turned out and I wasn’t disappointed,
Can’t wait for the next one!

A lovely read. Jessie was having a party to celebrate her birthday and retirement where she was planning a life in the sun with her husband Stan but things don't go as planned when she learns of a betrayal and aso a secret her daughter Georgie has been keeping from her. As the night progresses she also learns that Alyssa's cafe where her party is being held is also under threat so can she sort everything out and start her new life while also wanting to be with her friends who are all gathered together for her and it all plays out during one snowy night. A book you won't want to put down with love, friendships and relationship's at the heart of the story.

This is another great book from Shari Low featuring a group of people over the course of a day. This time we’re following Jessie who has just retired and is about to move abroad with her husband, their daughter Georgie who is taking over her mum’s hairdressing business right at the monent another opportunity comes her way, Alyssa who loves her business abut has just learnt it’s under threat and finally Lachlan who is reluctantly visiting Scotland for the day but can’t wait to leave. There’s a lot of other fabulous characters in amongst this but I’ve found as long as you can follow the events unfolding with the main characters throughout the day it’s pretty easy to keep track. There’s some good storylines with a mix of drama and a few cliffhangers throughout the hours the story is told over but most of all a ,it if warmth and humour which makes this the enjoyable and easy read it is.

Crazy that I'm reviewing a book with snow in the title, but here we are. I loved One Snowy Day by Shari Low. This is not the first book by her that I've read, nor will it be the last.

The story follows the residents of a small Scottish village during one eventful winter day. We follow four people whose days intersect to tell the story. I enjoyed the ins and outs of the characters lives as all make monumental life choices.

a story of four women who all must make a decision about their future. a quick read, I read in two afternoons.

Absolutely brilliant as always, never ever get tired of reading Shari’s stories!

Follow the stories of Alyssa, Lachlan, Georgie and Jessie across generations of trials and tribulations. I love the easy way Shari weaves these stories to the most magical ending. I have to say too any book where Val Murray pops in is a favourite to me!

As always devoured in less than a day with a cup of tea and biscuits which is just as well as it’s mainly set in a cafe! Can’t wait for the next Shari instalment!

Another fantastic heartwarming read! I loved it and read it in one sitting!!! Brilliant characters and great story.
