I do really enjoy Kristin Hannah but I don't think this holiday novella has aged well. I really hated the audiobook narrator and just was not a fan of this story overall. I had to suspend my belief just a tad too much to believe in the 'magical' holiday miracle that sees Joy learning the difference between what was real and what was in her head after she has a terrible accident. Overall just felt too cheesy and cliched for me.

This was a nice, short read of Kristin Hannah’s! Had a twist I didn’t see coming, and it would be a nice one to read around the holidays!
Joy has had a rough year, her husband and her hit a rough patch and he has ventured into the arms of another woman. She isn't feeling satisfaction on the job and overall life isn't going well for her. So she ends up on a crazy adventure that from the beginning is more than doomed. And then the book takes an unexpected turn and of course I can't share or it would ruin the whole deal!
This one was a little too lifetime movie for me. I was hoping for a sweet holiday book and from the beginning this one took the dramatics and amplified them. Family drama, a plane crash and beyond, this book packed the punch from the beginning. It had a little bit of the holiday cheer, but just not enough for me.

A cute little magical romance story about a woman who was betrayed by her husband and down on her luck, yet still managed to find some Christmas magic. It was a bit fantastical and cliché but it was cute and leaves you feeling warm and snugly.
