Looking for a heartfelt read? Here you go!✨ 

Thank you, Dell Romance & PRH Audio, for the gifted copy of A Winter Wish {partner} 

 

 

I've been a bit behind on my holiday reading this year, so I picked up A Winter Wish by Emily Stone. The cover was adorable, and the synopsis grabbed my attention. 

 

My main issue with the book was that it didn't quite deliver the festive holiday spirit I was hoping for. Instead, it focused more on themes like grief, parental abandonment, and the journey of self-discovery, which made the story feel heavy at times. While it eventually picked up, and I ended up enjoying the romance between the two characters, I just wished there had been more of that cozy holiday atmosphere I was craving. 

 

One of the book's highlights was the concept of the travel agency Lexie inherits from her father. The agency specializes in helping people experience holiday traditions from different countries, which was a unique and fun idea. It made me start thinking about all the amazing places I'd love to visit and the special holidays I could experience there! 

 

 

Audiobook Review: ☆☆☆☆ 

Meg Travers, a new-to-me voice actor, narrated a Winter Wish, and I really enjoyed her narration style! While she doesn't do a lot of voice variation for male characters, which some listeners prefer, I still found her performance engaging. I'd listen to more of her work in the future!
