"Magical and beautiful." (Josie Silver, author of One Day in December)

"An insightful, nuanced look at modern relationships, I loved it. Christmas Carol meets Love Actually." (Holly Bourne, author of Pretending)

A modern twist Christmas Carol

I loved this book! A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite holiday stories, so of course I enjoyed this, a very modern, interesting take on the storyline concept. The characters were very believable and relatable. It was fun traveling through time and meeting different versions of the same person. I enjoyed the writing and the narrator as well. This book light and fun and a perfect listen for the winter holiday season, and even if it’s not the season, it’s a still good one.

Excellent!

This is a sweet sweet story along the lines of Dickens A Christmas Carol. I loved the story. I loved the narrator. I hated for it to come to an end.

Definitely not bad!!!!

Not bad, just not my favorite. I had to finish it, but at times I found myself kind of bored.

Amazing!

This book exceeded my expectations. Definitely recommend. Wonderful narration as well. Will read/listen to more from this author.
