My Review of Christmas In Winter Hill by Melody Carlson: I didn’t finish this in time to review it for Revell because I just didn’t enjoy the plot since it was almost any Hallmark movie, I love the cover, but I also disagree with the main character being divorced and have heard/read/watched this plot several times with different books, movies, and such. And honestly I just do not want to finish reading something that I don't enjoy currently, maybe I'll read it closer to Christmas but I doubt it. Though I do love the book's cover. Disclaimer: I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. Short and sweet, this inspirational holiday read is a light palate cleanser - good for when you'er getting stressed around the holidays. Single mom Krista and her daughter Emily move from Arizona to Winter Hill Washington and they're in for a treat. Krista isn't one for Christmas cheer but that's about to change when she takes over as city manager and has to help out with Christmastown. Everyone in the small town gets involved and it's a month long festival. This year is even more special as they are giving away a "Christmas house" - a lovingly refurbished historic home to the best essay (see where this is going yet?). Krista and her daughter have made lots of new friends (her assistant's son isn't hard on the eyes) but she's also made some enemies as well. The town's finance manager has a bone to pick with Christmastown and he takes out his frustration on Krista. Was moving to this town a good idea? Will she survive without a car in a small apartment? Is she happier? A quick read with a happy ending all wrapped up in a bow. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. This was a great Christmas read. Krista, a woman who doesn’t like Christmas ends up the city manager of a town that is obsessed with it. She just starts to get settled in and some things happen that turn much of the town against her. BUT – since this a Christmas, feel-good book, it does have a happy ending. I did enjoy this novella. I appreciated that it was short - with everything going on around Christmas, it is always nice to have books like this to go to at the end of a busy day! I got the book from LibraryNet in exchange for a fair review. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Krista Galloway has a good reason to dislike the holiday season, but when her new job as city manager forces her to plan the town's over-the-top Christmas celebration, she and her daughter may find a new home -- and some Christmas spirit -- in the process" -- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Over the past few years, Melody has been writing new Christmas stories. They are all similar in the fact that they are cute stories, perfect (and very unrealistic) for when the weather starts cooling down and the snow starts falling.
While some may critique this book by saying that it is all fluff, I found it a quick and enjoyable read. The characters were attention-catching and Emily was the best. She was so full of ideas and her childlike innocence shone in this story. Krista was very inspiring with her journey to overcome fears and look to the good in life.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go reread this.
