Through the Snow Globe by Annie Rains
4.0
Annie Rains has written a heartwarming and emotional story of a woman compelled to look at her life in order to change how she relates to others.
It’s December 4 and Diana Merriman starts her day with her fiancé Linus. The two had quarrelled the night before as Linus begins to push Diana to start planning their wedding. Diana tells him she wants to wait until after she interviews for a promotion. The weather has turned cold and Linus heads to his toy store reading his beloved bike as he forgot to gas up his truck. On his way home from work, he is struck on his bike by a delivery truck and slips into a coma.
Skip to December 24. Diana stumbles upon a wrapped gift that Linus has purchased for her. She opens it and finds a one-of-a-kind snow globe of their small town. Her elderly neighbor visits and Diana shows her the snow globe. The woman places an enchantment on the snow globe that allows Diana to repeat one day in her life. She is warned that this enchantment will not change the course of events. She chooses December 4 in hopes of preventing Linus’ accident. What she doesn’t know is that she’s about to repeat this day over and over again.
I loved the intensity and consequences of Diana’s time loop as she tries to live a life without Linus. Time loops tend to become a little monotonous and if I’m honest I could have done with one less repeat of December 4. Having said that, the book is a lovely Christmas read and is full of the magic of the holiday season.
I recommend this book to those that enjoy time-loop women’s fiction and romance.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher, but the thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.
