“Christmas short stories on repeat is a great way to get into the holiday mood while also being introduced to an author you may not have read before. This collection was filled with cute tropes and happy endings all centered around Christmas. How could you ask for more? This is a fast funfilled read. Thank you, Atria and Netgalley, for the ARC and opportunity to provide an honest review”“This collection was so so fun! All of the short stories were really cute and well written. There’s some pretty big authors featured in this collection and I’m sure fans of their writing would absolutely love to pick this up!
There are 12 different Christmas themed short stories in this collection and each of them is by a different author! Hope This Helps by Sarah Hogle was my favorite one in the collection!
I think this will be the perfect gift for any Christmas lover! I already have a few people I will be gifting this to once it comes out! 🎅
Thank you to NetGalley and Atria for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!”
“I really enjoyed this collection of Christmas stories, some were so sweet and christmassy! I love the idea of treating it as an advent calendar and getting one cute holiday romance until Christmas Day! This was very fun to read in April, I love getting a little bit of holiday cheer early in the year. Almost all of these stories ranged between a 3-3.5 except for a few! I really enjoyed the first story, A Merry Little Christmas, the sixth story, Twelve Seconds to Forever, and the eighth story, All Roads Lead Home, these definitely were 4/5 star ones for me!
Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley for this eARC!”
“What a fun and festive collection! Each story is short and easy to get through, which made this a really quick and enjoyable read. While I definitely had a few favorites, none of the stories felt like a miss.
This is a great pick if you’re in the mood for something light, cozy, and full of holiday spirit—honestly, it works just as well any time of year.
Thanks to the authors, publisher, and NetGalley for the early access—I’m officially feeling Christmas in May!”
