After getting divorced, Ivy Perkins decides to buy an old farmhouse in a small town where she doesn’t know anyone. With her dog Punkin by her side, she arrives at the house to see it needs more work than she imagined. None of the furniture has been removed, and there’s still clothes in the closet, but what Ivy didn’t expect to find was a gorgeous old Santa Suit with a history and a mystery attached.

I absolutely loved this novella! I read it in a day because I didn’t want to put it down. I was so invested in Ivy’s life and all the friendships she makes along the way.

One of my favorite parts of the story was the town itself. It was so quaint and cozy and honestly, I want to move their right now!

All of the townspeople we meet along the way were great characters. I really enjoyed Ivy’s friendship with Lawrence. It was so sweet. The way that Phoebe and Ezra were so willing to help Ivy get her house set up was so neighborly. It just warmed my heart.

This story is perfect to get you into the Christmas spirit, but it’s about so much more than the holiday. It’s about kindness and giving and helping others without expecting anything in return. I really hope Mary Kay Andrews writes more books with these characters because I already miss them! 5 big stars from me!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
