Book: The Christmas Note by Donna VanLiere
My rating: 5/5
I received this book free from BookSneeze in exchange for a review.
The Christmas Note was a real treat to read. I consider it my first Christmas present to myself this holiday season. I won't reveal any spoilers here because I want readers to discover this gem for themselves!
First off, I love the quotes at the beginning of every chapter. They really add a special touch. Now to the story. Simply put, I loved it! The author's style of writing is so easy to read and you can just fly through this book in no time. Now that can be a negative, but I have many books I'd like to get through before the end of the year, so this works for me. Still, I hate to see a good book end!
Gretchen moves to a condo with her two small children. Her mother lives close by and along with her mother's best friend, they are a couple of characters I'd like to know. A lot of laughter is contained in those pages where they are present. Living next door to Gretchen, is Melissa. She's a bit on the grouchy side and does not really want to know her neighbors. Melissa needs something to believe in. Gretchen and her whole gang might just be that something.
Not giving anything away here, but everyone needs somebody to lean on every now and then, and this sweet story is about that and more. Much more. As with any good book, my emotions ran wild with this one. Some parts made me cry and others made me howl with laughter. Excellent little read and I highly recommend it!
