The Charm Bracelet

The Charm Bracelet (2012)

REVIEWED

Every charm bracelet tells a story and Holly O'Neill knows this better than most. Many years ago she was sent one
mysteriously, just a single charm attached. Some time later another charm appeared, and the same happened until the bracelet
was almost full. Each charm proved significant, as if her anonymous benefactor knew she needed a little bit of magic in her life. So
when Holly stumbles across another bracelet - one that somebody else has lost - she recognises a lifetime spelt out through the charms, and knows she must try to reunite it with its owner. Using each charm to help discover more about the bracelet's owner, Holly gradually begins to piece together details of this other charmed life. And her quest leads her somewhere she never expected...

My review of Something From Tiffany's

Something From Tiffany's (2011)

REVIEWED

Doesn't every girl dream of getting . . . something from Tiffany's? It's Christmas Eve. And on 5th Avenue in New York City,
two very different men are shopping for gifts for the women they love. Gary is buying his girlfriend Rachel a charm bracelet.
Partly to thank her for paying for their holiday-of-a-lifetime to New York. But mainly because he's left his Christmas shopping far
too late. Whereas Ethan's looking for something a little more special - an engagement ring for the first woman to have made him happy
 since he lost the love of his life. But when the two men's shopping bags get confused, and Rachel somehow ends up with Ethan's ring, the
couples' lives become intertwined. And, as Ethan tries to reunite the ring with the woman it was actually intended for, he finds it trickier than expected. Does fate have other ideas for the couples? Or is there simply a bit of Tiffany's magic in the air .
