The Plight Before Christmas by Kate Stewart
5.0
♥️❄️I think this book is a truly flawless story!
It’s a unique take on a second chance romance set during the cheery and hectic holidays.
The characters are so amusing, warm and VERY quirky. I want them to adopt me.
It’s as much a life and family story as it is a romance in my opinion. It’s balanced so well.
The comedy is impeccable. The story is full and so very gratifying.
The slow burn chemistry, the longing and the emotions hit me in waves.
The flashbacks move that part of the story along slowly throughout. I LOVE the way it was written.
It gave me FULL emotional impact in the perfect timing.
It has ALL the feels and SO many laughs!
It has incredibly smart and clever humor. The banter and quips are LIFE!
Literal laugh out loud moments that I couldn’t control my rolling, full belly laughter as I had tears running down my face. Pure joy!
All the characters have real life problems and of course the holidays and family bring the best and worst out of everyone.
The characters are beautifully flawed and lovable. I adore how the author writes strong, accomplished characters that have visible vulnerabilities.
They have moments when they don’t shine, they make the cringe worthy mistakes-it’s so refreshing and relatable!
I felt like I could actually see everything happening, it was a rare time when a book played out in my head like a movie. And I mean that in an incredible way! I’m not a terribly visual person,this was written in a way that I could picture every moment and that was so enjoyable!
The emotional parts are so poignant, real and subtly crafted. It’s really stunning in the execution. It’s such a delicate balance and I think it hit perfectly.
➖Movies as verbs is my new favorite thing♥️ Such a clever and hilarious aspect. Read it! Then you’ll see what I mean...WYKYK➖
The cast of characters is just dreamy! From Mom and Dad, the siblings, nieces and nephews and of course the incredible main characters Whitney and Eli. I adore every one of them and they all were ABSOLUTELY integral to the story.
I could give examples of so many favorite parts or the incredible quotes I highlighted, but I think it’s best to go in and experience it fresh from your perspective and find your favorites.
I think this is a truly rare book. It’s central parts are so universal and it’s just executed so impeccably. Nothing is over or under done.
I feel that it’s so rare for humor and big emotions to feel so natural and real.
Nothing felt contrived or false.
I rarely comment on epilogue’s, this one was exactly what I felt it needed. Nothing too much, no cheese thank you! It’s just enough to make my heart full and feel utterly appeased.
I tip my hat to the author, this is truly a one of a kind story that I know I’ll never forget and I’ll reread.
Did I mention the amount of happiness it gave me? SO, VERY MUCH!
