About the Book
Sanford Stone cut ties with his best friend, Natalie, in favor of the love of his life … a woman who ended up walking out on him just before Christmas. Six years later, Sanford can’t bring himself to celebrate Christ’s birth with any joy. Little does he know, his grandmother and her companions have dubbed him the Scrooge and intend to help him overcome his bitterness and find happiness again.
The only thing that has hurt Natalie Dunivan more than Sanford cutting her out of his life has been watching his long-held grudges slowly destroy the man she has always loved. Together with Ms. Carol, Natalie devises a plan to reach out to Sanford.
Sanford accepts his grandmother’s challenge to celebrate Christmas for 31 straight days, but he didn’t count on her plan involving Natalie. Can his family and friends help their Scrooge see the error of his ways, or will Natalie’s presence only make things worse?
My Thoughts:
This is a must have for your Christmas TBR list. It's kind of a retelling of a Christmas Carol but it's completely modern. I enjoyed every second of reading it. Scrooge is Stanford. He has a 'right' to be grumpy with what has gone on in his life and makes excuses like so many of us do. I loved Ms. Carol! She was my favorite.
Natalie was left behind and forgotten when Stanford chased after his 'dream' (that came crashing down around him). It hurts her to see him become the man he has. I liked both characters growth and change and had to deal with issues on their own. Sweet romance and good all around book.
