Bright Lights, Big Christmas by Mary Kay Andrews was absolutely delightful. 

Here is my recommendation: go ahead and order yourself a copy as a gift to yourself (because let’s be real, we all deserve early Christmas gifts). And then, as you are putting away your Halloween decorations later, take a break and open this little holiday treasure. Your heart will thank you. 

I read this in two days, finishing one night with just a happy grin on my face. Clocking in at just 288 pages, this novella is filled with wonderful characters, Christmas magic, and a whole lot of found family. If you’re a fan of feel-good Christmas movies, grab this. You’ll laugh and sigh and feel the magic of the season on every page. 5 sparkly Christmas trees for this read. Many thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for the arc.
