I remember years ago reading "Gathering Christmas" from the same author and loving it so I thought this would be the perfect choice to read by the Christmas tree this year.
Nope.
Honestly I usually like wholesomely cheesy Christmas stories but this one was just too much. The characters seriously lacked believability and the ending was way too contrived.

Contrived.

A wonderful Holiday tradition to read the Laycock's Christmas books!

3.5 It felt very rushed. Loved the premise and some of the back story but the ending was pushed.

This was a good book. So it's about a man named Desmond. He isn't ever happy anymore. When he was a little kid his dad and little sister died in a car wreck. He is now a doctor. He works with a nurse named Libby, who he secretly loves, and she loves him too. On Christmas eve a guy that dressed up as Santa came and brought homeless people to the hospital that needed help. One of the homeless people was a little orphan girl named Anna. Desmond really liked her and wanted to adopt her. He went to find the Santa Claus that had brought the homeless people. He found a detective that helped him find the guy that dressed up as Santa Claus. He found out that his name was John. When Desmond was a little kid John had somehow known about the car wreck, and every Christmas John had put an envelope with money in it on their porch on Christmas. After that Desmond married Libby, and he adopted Anna.
I think the theme for this book was to not give up. Desmond gave up on being happy, and that didn't help him. But then he decided to be happy, and that helped him. That's what I think the theme for this book was.
I really liked this book. I liked it because it talked about being happy. It had a good meaning to it. That's why I liked it.

I picked this up from a random stack of books I'd somehow inherited along the way, only because I knew I'd have about a 2 hour wait at the hairdresser. The book showed promise, about a man who had stopped believing in Christmas after losing several loved ones around that time of year. However, the writing stunk. The book literally feels like a 12 yr old wrote it. Subplots would be created and solved within paragraphs. Important characters went undeveloped. I never really knew where the book was heading or what the main challenge, crisis, or climax would be. It was annoying, actually, how badly this was written.

I received Gathering Christmas as a gift years ago and then saw this one at the library and decided to read it as a quick Christmas read. It was okay. The writing isn't great and the story is pretty manipulated and kind of silly at times but it had a good message and a happy ending.

I didn't realize it was a sequel/continuation of one of the stories from Gathering Christmas until I started reading it, so it was kind of fun to get a more in-depth look at one of the subplots of that book.

I found this in our Christmas stuff from who knows where, I read it quickly and put it in the box to Goodwill. It was okay, but not something I would read every Christmas. I agree with one review that the plot was underdeveloped, but the message WAS still inspirational. I think there are just better Christmas books that have both.

If you like cheesy, feel good Christmas stories then this is a great read. There are several running themes throughout the book that connect everything together. The writing style can be a bit annoying at times, but not too bad.
