I know it’s early for Christmas but I love Christmas. I mean technically it is halfway to Christmas, so maybe it’s not too early. But I have to say I love being a reviewer because that means I get a sneak peek at wonderful books that are themed such as this new release.

If you’re looking for that feel-good romance/women’s fiction, I know Andrews is the right author to deliver!. Check out my thoughts on this review below.

Synopsis:
It’s a long way from a Christmas tree farm in the mountains of North Carolina to a certain street corner in Greenwich Village, but Kerry Tolliver, newly unemployed and romantically unattached, reluctantly agrees to make the trek, and live in a tiny vintage camper with her gruff older brother (and his dog Queenie) out of family loyalty.

Selling Christmas trees at the family’s stand in on the sidewalks of New York, Kerry is startled to find herself beginning to feel at home in this quirky little corner of the city, and succumbing to the charms of Patrick, a single dad and his adorable, dragon-loving son Austin. When a secretive elderly neighbor goes missing with the holidays fast approaching, Kerry discovers her new friends have become family . . . and maybe more . . .

Surrounded by warm childhood memories, sparkling possibilities, and the magic of Christmas, will this small-town girl surrender her heart to the bright lights of the big city?

Bright Lights, Big Christmas by Mary Kay Andrews Review

I was so thankful to be able to use this book as a cushion between two really tough reads. Sometimes you just need that light-hearted, feel-good story, and Andrews really delivers that in this book.

It’s a quintessential Holiday romance you would expect to see as a Christmas movie. She delights us with wonderful characters of all ages, types, and even delightful dogs that will make you smile.

The slow-burn development of a love interest adds an extra layer to this story. Andrews never fails to deliver a beautiful story that just makes your soul sing and leaves you with a smile when you come to the end.

Timeless and joyful. Bright Lights, Big Christmas is a story you want on your list if you’re craving that sweet uplifting holiday spirit!
