Sinossi
Chi l’ha detto che i miracoli non esistono?
Josie detesta il Natale. A peggiorare il suo umore contribuiscono il fatto che Oliver, il ragazzo con cui ha appena rotto, sta uscendo con una sua collega e la sua coinquilina trascorrerà delle splendide vacanze all’estero. Le strade di Londra addobbate a festa, i negozi decorati e le gioiose musiche tintinnanti nell’aria le procurano tristezza. Senza contare che l’espressione di felicità stampata sulle facce di chi si appresta a riunirsi con la famiglia le ricorda quel terribile Natale in cui persero la vita i suoi genitori. E così, ogni anno, invia loro una lettera con le stesse identiche parole: “Mi mancate”. Ma stavolta il suo viaggio rituale verso la cassetta delle lettere viene interrotto da un evento imprevisto: la bicicletta di Josie finisce contro un affascinante sconosciuto, Max. Dopo qualche giorno di idillio, però, lui sparisce senza una parola...
L’esordio più atteso e romantico dell’anno
«Wow, non trovo le parole giuste per raccontare i sentimenti che mi ha smosso questo romanzo. Posso solo dire che mi ha fatto piangere come non mi succedeva da anni. Grazie Emily Stone!»
«Pensavo di essere l’unica persona al mondo a odiare le feste di Natale!»
«Romantico, magico, avvolgente, esasperante, senza fine. Come l’amore vero. Un romanzo che fa innamorare.»
«Mi ha ricordato moltissimo Un giorno di David Nicholls. L’ho adorato.»
«Non vedo l’ora che sia Natale per poterlo regalare a tutti, un romanzo indimenticabile con dei personaggi che mi mancano già molto.»

Recensioni
Even though I knew this was a tearjerker before I started... Even though I figured out what was going on long before it was revealed... I still broke out into shaking sobs when all was said and done in the book. This is mostly the story of a woman discovering that she is stronger than she thinks she is Leggi tutto
It’s all TRUE. Even though you have been warned by other reviewers that the ending requires tissues-you will be moved to tears anyway. It is INEVITABLE. Every December, Josie posts a letter to the parents she lost on Christmas night, when she was a young girl. She knows it cannot actually be deliver Leggi tutto
TW: multiple deaths of loved ones; off page cheating; heart attack; cancer I’m very conflicted about how to rate this because I did pick it up as a romance book BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT’S LABELED AS, but it definitely isn’t.

I was going to give this story a 5-star rating until a certain part in the narrative came up and then I couldn't. To the author: romance is a genre fiction that comes with very specific expectations. If these expectations are not met, it's not a romance. Call it women's fiction, call it general ficti Leggi tutto
Ever start a book thinking you know exactly how it is going to end and how the story would be? That was the case for me in this book and I was off base. The cover makes it look light, cheerful, sweet, and perfect for winter read. Enter Kleenexes stage left... But underneath that cover is a tale of lo Leggi tutto
respectfully, no.
This is a character-driven love story. Not your typical one... But... One that even if you think or guess the ending, you still want to be present for it. Or... At least I did. The cover of the book makes you believe you are headed for a light cozy cheerful sweet perfect little winter romance. But... Leggi tutto

Well, that was Unexpected! Bring Hankies. Lots of them! A chance for December romance. Both Hopeful and Haunting. The characterizations in this book are honest, real, and raw. The emotions it drew from me are intense and heartfelt. Emily Stone, you got me and got me good! Josie and Max, you stole my Leggi tutto
