Let It Snow

In Nancy Thayer's Let It Snow, this charming Christmas woman's fiction is perfect to uplift your spirits during the wintry cold holiday season. For Christina Antonioni, she's a small shop owner who lives and works at the Nantucket Wharf, preparing for tourists to buy presents or souvenirs every season. She, and three other shop owners who are her friends, called the Shedders, strive to make sales everyday. But when she meets a little girl named Winifred "Wink" Lombard who stole something in her shop without paying for it. She became enchanted with Wink and reprimanded her for it, when her Uncle Andy and her mother Delia Bittlesman Lombard came in. Wink's parents are caught up in a nasty divorce battle, and Andy's on the island for business. But there's an instant chemistry between them. But there's one little problem: his father, Oscar Bittlesman, is their landlord, and reminiscent of Charles Dickens's Scrooge in the Christmas Carol. When he decided to raise the rent, it raised a lot of eyebrows. For Christina, she might have to put her growing relationship with Andy on hold, while she feared she might go out of business at the start of the year. Between Christina and her fellow Shedder friends, they needed to come up with a plan to get him to change his mind. They put their heads together to put on the Christmas spirit by singing Christmas carols. With a touch of Christmas magic, Christina had gotten her wish and a happily ever after she always dreamed of too.

This was a wonderful and beautiful woman's fiction set during the Christmas season. I cared for Christina and how she managed to warm everyone's hearts and stayed afloat with her business. I adored Wink and thought Andy was a pretty charming man himself. I loved the Nantucket island for the enchanted location and the seasonal scenic settings for this sweet story. This would put you into the holiday spirit and fill your heart with good will and tidings with some drama, a spark of romance, some drama, and a hint of humor to keep you warm after you finished this wonderful book.
