📖Title: The Christmas Countdown
✍️Author: Holly Cassidy
📆Pub Date: October 22, 2024

☕Grab a blanket and some coffee/hot chocolate, because you’re going to want to sit down and stay awhile with this cute and cozy Christmas read!

🎄After reading and loving THE CHRISTMAS WAGER last Christmas, I was SO excited for her new one, and it definitely didn’t disappoint!

📆The story ultimately revolves around Callie who finds herself lost after being dumped by her longtime boyfriend while also trying to keep up with her sister Anita’s idea to try to cheer her up around the holidays. Her sister’s idea? An advent calendar full of challenges and rewards for each challenge! Some are quick and easy and some require immense effort!

🍪While going through with these challenges, mostly to appease her sister, Callie happens to stumble across a cute baker who DESPERATELY needs her accounting help to get to the bottom of why his cookie business isn’t as profitable as it should be! I would say the rest is history, but things aren’t always as they seem.

🫶I loved the sister and parent drama in this one! I find stories centered around sisters to be so fun, especially at Christmastime! I thought the romance was believable and I was never bored! Overall, I’d definitely recommend to get you in the holiday spirit!

👀Also, if you didn’t know this, the author Holly Cassidy is a pen name of Hannah Mary Mckinnon, a thriller writer who wrote a recent 5 star thriller for me called ONLY ONE SURVIVES! I love authors that can transcend genres!

❓Would you rather drink hot chocolate or egg nog?
