Christmas of Love by Erin Wright
5.0
How often do you read a story where one minute you're laughing and the next you're grabbing a tissue? This one is an emotional rollercoaster!
Upon returning home for her parents 40th wedding anniversary party, Ivy literally bumps into Austin Bishop, her sister's boyfriend's best friend. While they are getting to know one another, Ivy and Austin together have some very funny times and some very sad times. Both have struggled with issues dating back to their teenage or early college years - for Ivy, being treated cruelly by classmates and for Austin family issues (plus a former girlfriend) which affects who they are today. Ivy is hiding some pretty big secrets and, although his are not on the same scale as hers, Austin has some too.
This story really makes you think about how much you can let your past experiences dictate your future. Are you giving your past so much power that it clouds your present and future? When you let painful memories drive you to such extremes, they're controlling you. Is that what Ivy wants?
But this is also a story of forgiveness - and what better time than Christmas for that! You will be laughing and cheering for Ivy and Austin, even though there are bumps along the way - just like life!
