This Christmas the Carlyle sisters will rediscover the gift of family
For some families, a Christmas reunion is like a feel-good movie. For Beth Carlyle, it might be more of a disaster epic. Her ex-husband’s new girlfriend is already pregnant. Her self-absorbed, bestselling author mother recently suffered a stroke and has summoned Beth’s sisters, Freya and Trinity—neither of whom even seem to like Beth very much—back to Magnolia. Beth’s so lonely and stressed that she spills her guts to a stranger, wondering why the handsome newcomer affects her so deeply. Reality TV star Freya deliberately forged a career that would upset her mother, who’s always been as brilliant as the sun…and just as distant. Now a handsome literary agent is making Freya dream of a different life. As for Trinity, she just wants to start over after leaving an abusive relationship and make a future for her and her baby.
It’ll be a Christmas like no other in Magnolia. But the Carlyle sisters might find they have more in common than their shared past—and that the holidays are made for second chances.
Includes a bonus holiday novella set in Magnolia!
So I will admit I struggled a bit at first to get the hang of who was who. Eventually when I got over that it made my reading experience a more enjoyable one. It was interesting seeing how different each sister was they were at different points of their lives and things are kinda at a pause since the mother had a stoke now all the sisters are sticking around to help care for her in their own way. There was a lot of reflection going on with not only the sisters but the mother as well she wasn't a great parent and was trying to make amends in her weakened state and the girls just wasn't sure if this nicer mother would last. Then there was the whole carving a new path in each of their lives like looking past caring for the mother and taking up nursing school finally, and writing a book, and having a brand new start with a child on the way. There was so much to unpack with this book and I really enjoyed following along.
