Just Like Magic

I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you – Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff

The Holidays are a magical time of the year. It’s a time for connection, for being with family, for honoring traditions, and to share moments with others. Bettie Hughes is not looking forward to the holidays. Bettie is broke and squatting in Colorado. She has fallen from grace as a jet setting influencer who boasts a glamorous life on social media. No one knows just how bad things are for Bettie. She is hiding out and keeping a low profile. After a drunken night, she spills some wine, someone how plays vinyl record of “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and *poof* there is Hal! Hal is a very happy, very excited and very magical Holiday Spirit! He is there to make her Holiday wishes come true!

Cute, cute, cute!

If you are looking for a light, holiday read with a message, look no further! This one left me smiling and singing along with Mariah Carey. Hal is absolutely adorable, and Bettie’s family is a unique yet fun bunch. Plus, the magic! It brings about change and we see some massive change in Bettie as the book progresses.

What a great change of pace! This is a perfect read for the Holidays.
