Thank you to @NetGalley and to @Avon and Harper Voyager for this wonderful ARC and allowing me to read and to provide my own review.
I would love to see it on the Hallmark channel!

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Noel loves her husband Jonah. When she wakes one morning she has no recollection of being married. This is a great book to put you in the holiday spirit.

This novel is destined to be made into a made-for-TV, heart-warming Christmas film. It has all the right components – charming protagonists, a quaint small town, light humor, and a touch of magical realism.

Nora and Jack have been married since their sophomore year in college. Now in their late thirties, their relationship is fraying over the demands of high-powered careers and conflicting desires for a family. A fateful encounter with a quirky gentleman (who looks suspiciously like Santa Claus) gives them the opportunity to experience their lives without each other. The story unfolds as each one returns to their shared hometown during the holiday season to encounter a growing conflict between their parents over the town’s future. While Nora and Jack are likeable and engaging characters the star is Elliot, a 200-pound mastiff with an outsized personality to match his girth.

Besides romance, the story addresses some significant issues: love, loss, unresolved grief, and the care of loved ones with dementia. These are realistically managed with sensitivity and grace without bogging down the overall “feel-good” quality of the novel. Overall, this is a wonderful novel to tap into the Christmas spirit any time of year.

My thanks to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for the privilege of reviewing this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I really loved this book it was so cute it was my first ever book I’ve read by Courtney and I can’t wait to read more!!

It was such a heartwarming story. I truly enjoyed getting to know the characters and loved their development. Elliot was a hoot, and his interaction with Moxie was endearing.

I'm just a bit peeved about that ending though.

Charming romantic comedy novel, just right story for the holiday season. An enchanted snow globe gives an unhappy couple a chance to live their lives over without each other. But as they wake in separate lives, with no memory of each other, both realize that something is missing. Fate has a way of bringing them together again, meeting at an airport on their way back to their mutual hometown for the holidays. Laugh out loud funny at times, the conflict in the novel is light, and has the happy ending we wish for in a Christmas story.
