About the book:
YouTube vlogger Alexis
Jacobson knows how to create the perfect aspirational Christmas for her
viewers. She has made promotional videos for resorts and far-flung
travel destinations for several successful years. Still, the fantasy she
creates isn't real, nor is her relationship with her co-star and
business partner. When keeping up the illusion gets to be too much,
Alexis finds herself out of a job with no place of her own to call home.
That's when Alexis's Oma asks for help getting some new vacation
rentals in Icicle Creek up and running. Alexis agrees to return to the
place she used to call home to stop Oma's plans. Someone Oma's age
should be taking it easy, right? So when Alexis discovers Justin Karon
is the real estate agent behind the proposed deal, she questions his
motives. Appearances can be deceiving-as she would know. Justin seems
like a great guy, and yes, Alexis had a crush on him back in high
school, but a lot has changed since then. Despite her misgivings, sparks
start to fly between these two. But are these feelings real? And will
going home help Alexis re-discover the true spirit of Christmas?
My review:
This was cute story about a young woman who wants a fresh start after her business partner leaves her high and dry. I liked the plot about going back to your small town and helping your grandmother but we didn't get told any details. The same thing happened with her helping create a video for the contest they entered. A lot of cute moments could have been explored as they created it but we're just told they're going to and then it jumps to the end of the story. I liked Alexis and how she was so protective of her grandmother and jumped in to help her. Justin seemed like a great guy for helping her grandmother so much, among other things. There's a brief mention of God's blessings but otherwise I would classify it more as a clean read. There's some romance. Overall, if you're looking for a clean Christmas read you might want to check it out!
I received a free ebook of this book from JustRead Tours. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
