Synopsis

Carter is an insurance adjuster whose longing for creative expression spills over sometimes into his accident reports. Abby works for her adoptive father, Uncle Mannie, in the family bookstore, the ReadMore CafĂ©. Carter barely tolerates Christmas; Abby loves it. She can’t wait past October to build her favorite display, the annual Christmas book tree stack, which Carter despises.

When an automobile accident throws Carter and Abby together, Uncle Mannie, who is harboring secrets of his own, sees a chance for lasting happiness for his little girl. But there are so many hurdles, and not much time left. Will this Christmas deliver the miracle everyone is hoping for? Where love and Christmas are concerned, there are no accidents.

Review

I’ve read several Christmas themed books lately even though Christmas is still 2+ months away. All the books have been good and while this one has a Christmas theme it is much more than just a holiday book. It is about finding love, terminal illness, doing what you love, and embracing life.

I really liked all of the characters. Carter has dreams beyond being an insurance adjuster, he just isn’t sure what. All he knows is that he enjoys the written word and even embellishes insurance forms much to the chagrin of his superiors. He isn’t wild about Christmas because of some bad memories. It is interesting to find out that perhaps those memories weren’t quite 100% accurate. Abby loves Christmas, despite losing her parent at a young age, thanks to her Uncle Mannie that raised her from the age of 6. Mannie is quite a force himself and I think that he may be my favorite character. He does a few things that make Abby mad, but for good reason. I love that there is also a character named Seven. She is a hoot!

I enjoyed this book and it is a good holiday read (or any time of the year). A happy ending that is bittersweet.

We give it 4 paws up
