In this heartwarming story from New York Times bestselling author Courtney Cole, an unhappily married couple makes a wish on an enchanted snow globe that they had never met, but when they wake up the next day in separate lives, the magic of Christmas helps them to realize that some love is just meant to be.  Two weeks 'til Christmas... Noel Blake is not in a great place. After several years of marriage, she and her husband Jonah are quietly drifting apart. The only time they really talk at all anymore is when they walk their dog, Elliott. And even then it usually ends in bickering. When, one snowy day, Elliott manages to slip his leash, they find him blocks away in the care of a mysterious old man who asks them to make a wish on an old snow globe. Eager to get their dog safely home, they agree to his strange request. Neither one realizes that the wish they're about to make will change the course of their lives... possibly forever. When Noel and Jonah wake up the next morning, they're in separate beds, separate apartments, separate lives. But are they any happier As they live the existences they'd always wished for, both feel that something very important is missing. And when a chance encounter brings the pair back together, they find they have a spark of something very special. Will they be able to find their way back to each other before it's too late, or does the Christmas Magic have another fate in store… (plus d'informations)

"A Wish For Christmas" is a delightful magic-real love story that enchanted me from the start. Many people would like to change something in their lives, but who has the chance to do it like this? These are characters that everyone will fall in love with, including Elliott, the Mastiff. It's impossible to resist all this joy mixed in with a Christmas theme. I highly recommend this book for reading at any time of year!
My thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this title. ( )

This is a story about wishes and second chances. Nora and Jack are drifting apart in their marriage. Chasing their 200-plus pound dog through the streets after he gets away from them, they meet a kind, elderly store owner. He gives them a snow globe to wish on, and the next day, they wake up in separate apartments, leading separate successful lives as Noel and Jonah. Through a series of somewhat unusual events, Noel acquires a large dog, and both Noel and Jonah find themselves heading for the same small town to assist their families, specifically the dads, who are on opposing sides of what is best for the town. It’s quite an intriguing concept and an interesting and well written story. The characters are likable and believable, even if the magic of the snow globe is not. But if start to think that the store owner might just be Santa in disguise, you can believe in the magic that Christmas brings. ( )

What happens when a book editor and a financial analyst are living their busy life and forget why they first fell in love? A Wish For Christmas by Courtney Cole offers a sweet twist on a ‘what if’, the chance of a do-over, in the form of a wish on a snow globe and a manuscript. It’s got bookish vibes and a big lovable dog, what more could you want in a holiday book?

I recommend for readers that love:

❄️ Small town stories with quirky characters
🎄 Hallmark vibes
❄️ Closed door, sweet romance
🎄 Books about bookish people
❄️ A little magical realism, time travel
🎄 Can’t resist big dog that brings everyone together

I thought Cole did a beautiful job touching on complicated family dynamics of adult children returning home, seeing parents through a new lens and yet falling into old roles. The grief of watching a loved one suffer from dementia was navigated very well.

Thank you to my friends at @netgalley , @avonbooks & @courtneycolewrites for the review copy! ( )

This was an enjoyable Christmas romance, Although the plot was a bit far-fetched and very sketchy on the details, the story was lovely and heartwarming, and I found myself enjoying the book in spite of myself.. Recommended for anyone needing a quick shot of holiday spirit!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. ( )
