Sometimes the best gifts in life are the ones you don’t expect.

Cassie and Tom lost their parents at a young age and relied on each other—as well as a community of friends—to cope. They were especially close with Tom’s best friend, Sam, who always made sure that Tom and Cassie were surrounded with love. But, twenty years later, Cassie has lost Tom as well. And in a way, she’s also lost Sam; over the years they’d drifted apart, and now the man she always had a crush on is someone she doesn’t even recognize anymore.

She’s never felt more alone.

Then Cassie finds an envelope with her name on it, written in Tom’s terrible handwriting, and she knows immediately what it is. It’s the first clue in the Christmas scavenger hunt that Tom made for her every year; he’d promised her for months that this year’s would be the grandest one yet. At first, she’s too scared to open the envelope—what if she can’t figure out the clues without his help? Or what if she does figure them all out and her last connection to Tom is gone?

Tom’s present sets Cassie on a heart-wrenching and beautiful journey that will change her life—if she lets it. And as she travels from London to the Welsh mountains to the French countryside, she reconnects with old friends, rekindles a lost love, and, most important, rediscovers herself. But once she’s solved the final clue, will she be brave enough to accept the gift her brother has given her—and the love it’s led her to?

Watching Cassie go through losing her brother after losing her parents as a child was so absolutely tragic. Jessica was not right for Sam and I'm glad they didn't end up getting married, but I'm not happy about how that part played out... at the same time though, Sam was deep in the midst of his grief and Jessica either didn't see that or didn't acknowledge that.. maybe things would've turned out differently if she would've postponed the wedding like he'd asked but I guess we'll never know. I'm really happy that Sam and Cassie ended up together and how frickin cute is it that he hung onto that necklace for all those years!!! So. Romantic. ❤️

The ability to keep moving forward in light of grief

All of it is so special and full of love and moving on in life after losing those that you will forever wish for

Good story but predictable

Good story but predictable. I did enjoy the narrator and loved the character development. Well written.
