River Ford

This was the second book by River Ford that I have read since I read Catch Me If I Fall first and then backtracked to this one. I really enjoyed getting to read Jackie and Austin's story after reading about them in the Darcy's story earlier. This series is really good and I enjoyed getting to know more about the Fletcher family in this book. The end of the story was really sweet. I look forward to reading more from this series including the upcoming book about Brandon Fletcher and Summer that is supposed to come out in June 2024 Memories of Summer.

A Home for Christmas is a beautiful and emotional story about one woman's journey to finding, well, a home for Christmas. It was such a sweet story, one that I felt deeply. Her mom's death in the beginning of the book hit me harder than I would have imagine considering I was still getting to know the characters. I was instantly drawn into the story and had to read the rest of the book.

I cried at times throughout the story. The way the more emotional moments were woven into all the lighthearted, fun events made sure the book didn't sit too heavy. But, the more emotional aspects were definitely given enough space. The way grief was portrayed felt so real.

The characters were amazing. I loved everyone I met and can't wait to read about them in other books. I really can't wait after reading that epilogue setting up the next book.

The Christmas elements were done so well. I wish there might have been just a little more of the setting and events going on just because I enjoyed them so much. I wasn't ready to leave the world of this story and plan to check out more of the books set here.

The story was sweet and clean. A really cute story with even better characters. I think it was a great read for the Christmas holiday.

I received an ARC of this book for free, and I voluntarily left this honest review.… (more)
