From the moment she sets foot in the city, though, everything starts to crumble around her. With family problems back home, a complicated relationship, and an unforgiving city all around her, this Christmas, all Aubrey really wants is to find the real meaning of the holiday.

My Thoughts...
I loved this Christmas book. It is not about a perfect family or people that have the prefect life. It's a book about real life and how not everything is perfect.
I was not so sure about Aubrey's parents and I struggled with her relationship with them. But I can't wait for you to read this book and find out if Aubrey finds the true meaning of Christmas.
I true Wright fashion as with all of his books, in my opinion this book was way to short. I wanted to stay in New York a little while longer.
This was a 5 star book for me a side from the fact it was way to short.
I HIGHLY recommend it.
The Mary Reader received this book from the publisher for review. A favorable review was not required and all views expressed are our own.
Wow, I loved The Christmas Jars, I have to read this one right away to see if it's as good.
ReplyDeleteGood Review.
ReplyDeleteJason Wright is one of my top five all time favorite authors. I have all but two of his books on my shelf. Thanks for sharing a fantastic review!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteI have read most all of Mr. Wrights books, I wont be missing this one.
ReplyDeleteI will read this one this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis is not one I want to get from the library. I want this one on my shelf.
ReplyDeleteNice Review.
ReplyDeleteThis is one book that I definitely want to read and this review! Thanks Mary!
ReplyDeleteWe want to read this one, I am heading over to get a copy overnighted to us.
ReplyDeleteHow am I just now hearing about this book? I love his books no one is talking about this one I wonder why? It's not in books stores either, WHY?
ReplyDeleteMary, I went to order a copy and it's self published? WHY oh WHY? I won't be getting a copy. People only self publish when no legit publishers will touch their books. What about the editing in it?????
DeleteI would have told in my review if it was a poorly written book. The editing is as good as his other books. Denise, I don't read many self published books any more unless it's an author that has been traditionally published in the past. I truly do recommend this book!
DeleteHonestly, I have found many self-published authors to have just as good of a book as traditionally published ones. I have read my share of not so good ones of course, but I'm always willing to give an author a chance. :-)
DeleteChristmas Jars and Wednesday Letters were so good. This one is going on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an amazing book!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my hands on this one.

ReplyDeleteJason Wright is such a wonderful story teller. I really must read this little treasure.
ReplyDeleteI would love to read this one!
ReplyDeleteGlad to know this one was just as good! He is one of my favorite authors, so I will need to snag this one too. I wasn't hesitate because it was self- published.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like a really good one, I would not mind having this book on my shelf to read.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a really good read, Mary! I'm adding this to my TBR.
