This is the best Christmas book I’ve read! It’s so magical and has all the things I’ve inherently wanted in a holiday book. It even has time travel! I truly love it, and it’s so Christmasy and family-ish, with a rush of romance.

The main character, like me, also gets engaged in a cabin… surrounded by a surprise of our dearest and nearest beloveds. This book is a mirror and truly magical!

It’s come at an opportune time because I’ve been in a daze. I’ve done quite the job of putting my health first above my job. It’s resulted in anxiety and also— this haze of being in bed all the time and the threat of a depressive episode has loomed above be these holidays.

And 2025 has been so good to me too! If there’s one thing this book has taught me: is that there’s still time. There’s still a chance to reverse and fix things, the way Mae did in her life when it fell apart.

All it has to is to be genuine, fix what I need to, and go for what I want.

Yes. I’m on my way!
