Synopsis
After a bad breakup, Nola wants nothing to do with Christmas, especially in her quaint hometown of Bright Harbor, Maine. Infuriatingly charming and cheery, Nola’s surroundings only worsen her sour mood.
To make matters worse, Caleb, the boy who broke her heart years ago, is all grown up and still living in town. While doing her best to avoid him, Nola bumps into the local mailman, who gives her a mysterious letter. And when she finds that the writer is a fellow Scrooge, she can’t help but feel her spirit lifting.
Nola writes back to her new pen pal—who, unbeknownst to Nola, is none other than Caleb. When Caleb gets a response hand delivered by the mailman, he’s intrigued by the mystery sender. A friendly correspondence develops—and quickly turns flirtatious.
Although Nola and Caleb claim they can’t stand each other, they can’t deny the simmering attraction that brought them together in the first place.
Can these nameless pen pals write their own love story—or will they be too caught up with the ghosts of their Christmases past to find a future together?
My Review
I absolutely loved this second chance romance! A really great narrated audible listen and great voice acting.
Nola and Caleb broke up years ago after she moved away, and they didn’t really end things on great terms. When she returned, they were still not on good terms and bickered about and/or generally just tried to avoid each other. Caleb’s coworker knows Caleb still loves Nola and has regrets, and finds a letter in the garbage the Caleb wrote just venting his frustrations. He decides to give it to Nola, since it’s unsigned. She decides to write back and things kind of go from there.
The letters back and forth are really cute and a lot is revealed later on as to why they broken up and their true feelings. A lot was left unsaid between them and they never really knew the full extend of each others feelings when they broke things off. Communication, come on, ya’ll!
Anyhow, this was a really enjoyable holiday read. Very short, I listened to it within a day while doing chores around the house. I recommend this one!
