The Christmas Wish

Full disclosure: This is not a genre I typically read nor is this a book I would pick up on my own. I was generously gifted an ARC copy and have decided to be fair to the situation, I need to keep my rating somewhere in the middle.

In this Groundhog Day-esque romance (though it focuses more on family), Gwen seeks Christmas with her family to pull her out of her funk. With both her professional and personal lives in shambles, she longs for something stable. But what happens when she gets stuck in a Christmas loop?

As I already mentioned, stories like this are not my cup of tea. I didn't latch on to any of the characters and I found the plot cliche as anything. However, that is the point. For people who enjoy quirky romances, this is going to be an enjoyable read. As someone who leans more toward psychological thrillers and introspective literary fiction, I was bored. I did enjoy bits and pieces of the family drama, though. I was glad that was the prominent plot over the romance.

I can't stress enough that I'm not a fair judge in this instance. Please take my review with a grain of salt if you think this is a book you would enjoy.

A huge thanks to HarperCollins/Harper360 for sending me a lovely surprise package containing this ARC!
