'Caroline is a cynic career woman living the high life in Manhattan where love and relationships are but a distant memory of the past.
But after a freak accident on Christmas Eve, Caroline receives a visit from a cheeky spirit of Christmas Past, Present, Yet to Come, and—most importantly—Christmas That Could Have Been.
When she wakes up on Christmas Day suddenly married with three kids and living two doors down from her parents in New Jersey, Caroline has a chance to experience the life she would’ve had if she’d made a different choice.
Will small-town life as a mother and a wife make her fall in love again and rediscover what’s really important in life and?
A modern-day retelling of A Christmas Carol…'
This story focuses on Caroline, as you can tell from the title. Her story is told over the course of 23 Chapters and is as the blurb says a modern day retelling of A Christmas Carol. However this is far from the fairy tale that we grew up learning.
The book is similar to A Christmas Carol in the sense that Caroline visit's her past, present and future. However there is a slight twist in this book that really makes it stand out from the original. Caroline gets to visit an alternate universe where she changes one decision from her past.
When you first meet Caroline at the beginning of the book she is very much anti Christmas and anti kids. However as you read Caroline's story you get to watch as she changes and grows right before your eyes. This story truly is character development at its best.
Let's tell you a little bit about the Author Camilla Isley who is an engineer turned writer, who quit her job to follow her husband on an adventure abroad. She is a cat lover, coffee addict and shoe hoarder. Beside writing, she loves reading (duh), cooking, watching bad TV and going to movies - popcorn please. She is a bit of a foodie, nothing too serious. Camilla is a keen traveller who knows mosquitoes play a role in the ecosystem, and doesn't want to starve all those frog princes but could really live without them.
Throughout this story readers will route for Caroline as they watch her journey of growth. Right from the beginning readers will become intrigue in the main character as well as the story in general. This book is also the second one in the 'Christmas Romantic Comedy' Series, book one is called 'Fool Me Twice at Christmas'. You can get your own copy HERE
