Oh my heart! This book was so beautiful. Josie and Max’s story will warm your heart but also break it. This was not a happy Christmas love story, but it was a wonderful story all the same. I loved Josie and Max’s chance meeting, and how their lives were destined to intertwine. Josie always avoids Christmas and this year Max is doing the same, but after spending the holiday together it seems like it could be the start of something. But after the holiday is over Max leaves without saying anything, leaving Josie wondering why.
The story takes place over a year, and it’s in that year that they meet in the most unlikely of places and not always at the best time. Will these two have a chance to be together? It was a heartbreaking and beautifully told love story that had me in tears at the end. If your looking for a lighthearted Christmas story this is not it, but if you want a love story that will stay with you read this one.
