What a cute retelling of It's a Wonderful Life. The narrator does a great job bringing this story to life. (She sounds so much like Sarah Michele Gellar I couldn't help but cast her in the movie in my mind). In this rendition of the classic Christmas tale, Bailey George is struggling from an error that
It is a very sweet story that both feels festive as well as reminding readers that we are all important, whether we realize it or not.

Omg this was such a cute quick listen! It's very Hallmark-esqu but that's exactly what I was looking for and why I loved it so much. It had that little Christmas miracle in it but was very strong female protagonist focused which was awesome.

Cute novella based off of It’s A Wonderful Life. If you’re a big fan of the movie like I am, I think you will enjoy this.

A rom-com take on It’s a Wonderful Life with 40 something characters. The relationships aren’t even remotely believable but it’s a Christmas book and I enjoyed it for what it was. Another good short story as you wrap up those holiday errands.

This is a really cheesy and cute book.
If you just want a light book about a woman who realizes her blessings (and is rewarded a hot man to boot) then this is the book for you.
I gave it a high rating, not for it's groundbreaking writing, but mostly for it's wholesomeness and because I wanted a light read over the holiday season.
