The Christmas Holiday by Sophie Claire

5.0

Loved this book so much. It’s a very well written story.Evie and Jake’s interactions had me hooked from their very first encounter. Evie and her never ending optimism was a joy as was moody broody Jake. Loved watching their burgeoning friendship grow and transform into more. Really enjoyed watching Evie burrow under Jake’s skin despite his efforts to hold on to his grief.

It was especially lovely how they helped each other grow during the story. Jake helped her gain confidence, courage to stand up to her parents and belief in how special she was in her own way. Evie helped him find joy in life again, made him a part of the community and helped him deal with and let go of his grief and guilt.

Excellent read. Look forward to more from this author.
