❝Christmas magic begins the moment Santa appears at the end of Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.❞
When Christmas season hits, literally anything becomes Bailey Briggs' favorite: icing and decorating cookies with her family? Her favorite. Hot cocoa while watching the snow falling? Her favorite. Spending time with her friends while ice skating, even if she's very bad at it? ...you guessed it, her favorite!
Bailey is so enthusiastic about Christmas and with her bright and shiny personality, she manages to spread the joy anywhere she's: at school, while working in her beloved bookstore, or simply at home.
But it's at the bookstore where Bailey gets to interact and actually help the person she would have least expected to come in: highschool IT boy, Jacob Marley. And, even stranger, he asked her out!!
Still confused by the situation, a couple of days later Bailey is saved from an embarrassing almost fall while ice skating by Charlie, a tall, blonde, beautiful boy with a slight English accent. As the two keep on stumble into each other the next following weeks, Charlie proves he's the ultimate good guy: caring and with the tendency of being in the proximities exactly when Bailey needs it the most...
With Christmas around the corner and the feeling that both guys are not telling her something important, will Bailey's Christmas wish (being kissed under the mistletoe by someone who truly cares about her) become true?
👍👎My Thoughts
For this read, I went all in: I had the ebook and the audiobook as well. I was feeling a bit lazy, but the book's title intrigued me so I opted for a bit of help.
Well, I totally recommend the audiobook as the narrator, Emma Galvin has a splendid voice and a good pace which made the novel much more enjoyable!
The story was totally unexpected as I couldn't say where it was going: was Baily going to fall for Jacob or Charlie? Was she actually going to fall for one of them? What is Charlie hiding?
I liked the fact the I was making tons of guessing while listening to the story and none of them was right while the most illogical one, which I discarded almost immediately, well...
The narration is from Bailey's perspective and it has been a while since I read a book with a first-person perspective, it was a nice change.
The story is cute, there are some good points to think about and I finished it fairly quickly, so I would say that this is the kind of book for people who look for a nice, simple yet bright story.
Christmas Rating: 2¾/5
