The Christmas Cupid by Jennifer Joyce

4.0

The Christmas Cupid by Jennifer Joyce is a delightful Christmas story with a dash of Christmas magic that is just perfect for the holidays.

Story Recap:
Zoey Beake is having a tough December, but the worst thing is her longtime boyfriend dumped her, and now she’s dressed as an elf on stilts at the Christmas Eve parade. But, her day gets worse when she is knocked off her stilts in front of a double-decker bus.

Instead of instantly dying, she sees her grandmother's spirit, who tells her that she has a second chance. She can start back living again on December 1st, but she must complete a task in order to stay alive after Christmas. She must make six love matches. Zoey believes this second chance will also give her another chance with her boyfriend.

My Thoughts:
The Christmas Cupid is such a cute book. I enjoyed the little touch of magic, that gives this book that magical Christmas touch. The characters were believable and realistic, especially Zoey. I also liked that she has a job in retail and just loves working in a toy store, and a toy store at Christmastime is a perfect background to this story.

I thought the book was a bit chaotic at times, but that also felt realistic as Zoey leads a bit of a chaotic life. I enjoyed the side characters very much too. Zoey has a good support group around her, and I loved the way they all supported her.

The Christmas Cupid is a light-hearted, and magical Christmas book that brings Christmas joy to the reader.

Recommendation:

I recommend The Christmas Cupid to anyone who enjoys Christmas romance. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
