Review - Dear Santa
AUTHOR: Debbie Macomber
RATING: ★★★★
Summary (from Goodreads): A special holiday wish list brings about hope, love, and second chances in this nostalgic novel from the queen of Christmas stories, #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.
Lindy Carmichael isn't feeling particularly joyful when she returns home to Wenatchee, Washington, for Christmas. The man she thought was "the one" has cheated on her with her best friend, and she feels completely devoid of creativity in her graphic-design job. Not even carolers or Christmas cookies can cheer her up--but Lindy's mother, Ellen, remembers an old tradition that might lift her daughter's spirits.
Reading through a box of childhood letters to Santa and reminiscing about what she'd wished for as a young girl may be just the inspiration Lindy needs. With Ellen's encouragement, she decides to write a new letter to Santa, one that will encourage her to have faith and believe just as she'd done all those years ago. Little does Lindy know that this exercise in gratitude will cause her wishes to unfold before her in miraculous ways. And, thanks to some fateful twists of Christmas magic--especially an unexpected connection with a handsome former classmate--Lindy ultimately realizes that there is truly no place like home for the holidays.
In Dear Santa, Debbie Macomber celebrates the joys of Christmas blessings, old and new.
REVIEW: Another classic Debbie Macomber story with all the feel-good holiday vibes. After reading a few tear-jerker books, I really needed something to lift my spirits, and this book did the trick. I could easily picture it as a future Hallmark movie. Now…if you’re the type who gravitates toward the gripping, emotional, sexy love stories, then you might want to pass on this one. Debbie’s books are almost always sweet, inspirational, and (if I’m being completely honest) a little cheesy at times. But, don’t get me wrong, that’s not a bad thing! Sometimes you just need to lose yourself in a little magical storytelling with a guaranteed happily ever after. With all the madness going on in the world today, I fully believe we should grab some happiness wherever we can find it. With that being said, if you enjoy stories that are light-hearted and fun to read, then I would recommend Dear Santa.
