The cabin is Mae's favorite place in the world. It's the place, where she with her family and their friends, spends her Christmas holidays since before she was born. This place holds a lot of emotional value to her. So when she comes to know that, this will be their last Christmas at the cabin she feels dejected. Desperately she makes a wish to the universe. *Magic*

This book is a perfect Christmas read, with the right cozy Christmassy vibes. A gripping holiday love story that keeps you turning the pages.

I believe now that the universe delivers random act of kindness and its on us to decide what to do with them

It also makes you realize that you should make the decisions you wanted to make without thinking too much about the consequences. Just do what makes you happy.

The only person whose expectations you have to live up to is yourself

A groundhog day scenario with a Christmas twist. On Dec 26, Mae has trouble dealing with the news that will forever change her family's ( both by blood and chosen) Christmas tradition. While traveling to the airport, her parents, brother and her are in a car accident. Mae then wakes up on Dec 20 on the plane heading for the cabin. While confused, she is determined to not waste the chance the universe has given her. A cute Christmas story.

5 ⭐️ - This was the perfect Christmas read. Heartwarmingly adorable. Sentimental. Exactly what I was looking for.

Christina Lauren is two for two on “winner” books for me.

I will probably reread this every year. ❤️

I zipped through this fun light book. A little time travel, a little mid-20s bumbling and a lot of feel good rom-com vibes. Don’t feel restrained by the season, despite taking place at Christmas this was much more than a Christmas book.

I was not a fan of the first 1/3 or the time loop plot which I feel was never developed properly. And while I liked the story line once he main characters got together, the whole time loop thing never really got wrapped up by the end for me.3 stars is being generous.
