    I loved this story. Being in love with your best friend when she doesn’t see you that way is rough but when your best friend is the one who makes the first move and then ghost you, it tears your heart out. Jess at 18 left town to heal after what Holly did to her but now she is back home after 14 years and will not let herself get sucked in. Holly who knows she mistreated Jess and has loved her but has made many bad decisions,one leaving her with a daughter. The story unravels as they run into each other at the local store and Holly decides she is going to get Jess back. This was a very sweet second chance romance. Emily Hayes does it again.

    Jess and Holly were childhood best friends until one fateful night when they were eighteen. Jess left town and didn't return until fourteen years later. Can she face Holly? And what about Holly's four year old daughter? I could feel the pain from both ladies, but little Charlotte stole the show for me. When Jess became her "bestie," there was so much hope for forgiveness and reconnection. Be sure to get the bonus epilogue for a perfect ending!

    This is a well written story about how two women are drawn to one another through their lives as their first loves end in heartbreak. Life has weird things that can happen to anyone with love.

    Emily Hayes has done it again with another Christmas story that immediately drew me in. I am totally in love with this book and this couple! I really enjoyed their journey from friends, to not seeing each other for 14 years...then slowly reconnecting and finally getting together in the sweetest way possible. Holly’s daughter Charlotte is pretty cute also, and seeing her interact with Jess absolutely melted my heart!

    Holly had broken Jess's heart 14 years ago. Jess has never stopped loving her but does she want to take the chance and have it happen all over again? This is really a well told story with just the right amount of doubt and angst. It doesn't hurt to have a 4 year old on your side. I liked this Christmas story a lot and definitely recommend it. Thank you, Emily, for another book to add to my collection. Oh, the epilogue is not to be missed!!!!!!

    This was the sweetest (and hottest) 2nd chance romance involving Jess falling in love with her straight best friend Holly. This is some great writing and I felt so connected to Holly & Jess.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 20, 2020
    This was a very enjoyable Christmas themed love story. It was easy reading and Ioved the child who seemed very intelligent. I have now read the epilogue to this book which has to be downloaded separately, it is 5 yrars later and is a really great finish to the story. I would have given an extra star if I could.

    One of the sweetest Christmas romances I have read this year. The protagonists are extremely likeable, Charlotte is delightful and the humour bang on but funny. Loved the book

    4.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed this feel-good Christmas Romance
    Reviewed in Australia on December 6, 2020
    This sweet'n'steamy "second chance"/"friends-to-lovers" romance left me with a smile on my face and happy with the expected outcome.

    Jess and Holly are lifelong best friends. They have a huge falling-out when they are eighteen years old, Jess leaves town and they don't see each other for fourteen years. This story picks up when Jess moves back home and connects with Holly, now a single mum, and Holly's four-year-old daughter.

    Will they or won't they? Of course they will, and their journey to get there makes for a good read complete with overdone rom-com angst and misunderstandings.

    I enjoyed this book and I'll be checking out more from the author. Recommended.

    This short read is an undemanding minimal angst book, complete with small town vibes and a cute kid and is just the type of story to bring a little festive cheer.

    Heartwarming story about two likeable, girl-next-door type characters. With the help of family and friends they overcome internal struggles to discover whether or not they can live without each other.
