Chronicle Supposing Books A Very Coco Christmas (Coco Pinchard #0.5)
It's 1985, and eighteen-year-old Coco Pinchard is home in London for Christmas after her first term at Aberystwyth University.She has started to write, and fallen hopelessly in love with Daniel Pinchard, a devilishly handsome musician from the wrong side of the river. But Coco's overbearing mother has other plans and resumes her campaign for Coco to meet and marry the 'right sort of man', preferably Kenneth, son of her best friends Adrian and Yvonne Rosebury, who will be joining them for Christmas.
As snow falls softly over the city, and Coco tries to juggle a series of hilarious events, the stage is set for a Christmas lunch like no other.
A Very Coco Christmas is a delicious, stand-alone prequel short story to Robert Bryndza's smash-hit Coco Pinchard series, with a glorious cast of characters including Daniel's mother Ethel, sister Meryl - and a turkey called Jean Paul Belmondo...

Great I really loved this story and the beginning of great reads to come. It took me back to the 80's and made me smile more than once or twice.This book is billed as a prequella to the hit comedy Coco Pinchard series and it was my first encounter with the character. I can say with certainty Ill be encountering her again! Its a love-story-cum-farce set at Christmas but, unlike in some farces, I really warmed to these characters. They are well-drawn and very funny indeed. As events steam towards the suitably chaotic conclusion, I revelled in spending time with Coco and Daniel and their families, who meet to great comic effect. Hugely
Another Team Bryndza book, Lost in Crazy Town, I have likened to the fantastic Armistead Maupin Tales of the City books and darn me if Robert Bryndza hasnt pulled another one with Coco! Just like Mary Ann, Mouse, Brian, Mona and, (of course,) Anna Madrigal, Coco and her friends and dysfunctional in-laws have become almost like friends themselves. In particular, there is one instance in this short novella where I got the same thrill as I did on my first reading of Tales of the City when a
What a fantastic Christmas present Robert Bryndza has written for fans of his fabulous and funny Coco Pinchard series, with the festive 'A Very Coco Christmas'. This novella take us back to Coco's student days and establishes the basis of her relationships with Daniel, Ethel, Chris and Meryl. For a child of the Eighties, such as myself, this was such a brilliant and nostalgic trip down memory lane to a time when Christmas really was about family, not matter how bad they were. And on that note,
This review was first published at M's Bookshelf - http://mssbookshelf.blogspot.beI was delighted when Robert told me about A Very Coco Christmas. I'm a big Coco fan since reading The Consequences of Love and Sex, so I couldn't wait to join in on one of Coco's Christmases. And as to be expected from our beloved Coco, it was an... eventful Christmas. In this 'prequella' we see the start of 'Coco Pinchard' and I loved (re-?)meeting some key-characters, people who will stay in Coco's life long
Yet again Rob as wrote another brilliant book.I love Coco and all her dramas and a very Christmas Coco does not disappoint it as everything I have come to love from this fantastically funny series starring the one and only brilliant Coco Pinchard.In this novella we are taken to Cocos past, while she was at college, back when her and Daniel had only just met and begun dating and before she became a writer. I loved the story of how she and Daniel started, the first time she met his mother was
This was the first 'Coco' book I'd read so for me it was the first in the series rather than a prequel. For a moment I thought I'd been caught up in a time warp. Set in 1985 it immediately took me back to my own University days and I had to double check when it was actually written as it captures the spirit of the time marvellously. Some great characters that rise above being stereotypes. A lovely short Christmas read.
