Though it's well after the holidays, I still enjoyed Joanne Lee's holiday tale a lot. Adorable, plus incredibly sweet and tender, An Unexpected
Gift is indeed unexpected in just how nice it is.
In between the sweet, though, is a lot of sorrow. The main character lost her the love of her life five years ago and has never been the same since. Most of her days are spent being the "queen of mean" while her nights are ones of drinking by herself:
Solitude had not only been her safety net over the past several years; she had also craved it. Sometimes she wondered if working all day and returning all alone to an empty home even consisted of living.
I had no clue something so tiny (it's under 50 pages) could be so huge in delivery. My only complaint would be that I wish it had been longer. Otherwise, this is a lovely treat with wonderful characters and a welcome read, no matter what time of year! :)
