About this ebook
This Christmas will change Andrew Farmer’s life forever.
Andrew can’t remember the last time he spent Christmas away from work. The end of the year is crunch time for literary agents. But when your career is your life, your life starts to suffer . . . beginning with your marriage.
When a heart-wrenching accident in a Christmas Eve snowstorm jars this high-powered agent from his obsession with success, a Christmas miracle will give him a second chance at love, life, and gratitude, but only if he can put aside his own ambition and learn to appreciate each moment.
Sometimes it takes a tragedy to change a man’s life—and to teach him to treat every day as if it were his last.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Hmm.... (*scratching my head...*)This is the kind of read where although I can't say I was particularly into the characters, I still found the plot interesting all the way through.I also understand the story's overall message. A simple but timeless one. However, I ended the book feeling...confused.Maybe it's the fantasy fiction reader in me, but good fantasy and supernatural tales come with rules. A certain way the fantasy/supernatural elements will or won't work. If it turns out that the rules can change, be broken, or be cancelled out, the narrative or the characters have to give an explanation for it. Something that makes sense according to the story as a whole.The fantasy/supernatural players in this story repeatedly share the rules about a particular character's fate. "Fate is fate. It cannot be trifled with." They make several firm references about the character's "destiny" and their "date with destiny," about how the "cosmic balance will be thrown out of whack" if that character's date with destiny isn't met, and how the divine "boss" in charge of it all "won't let that happen."Hence, I ended the read wondering... What happened to the cosmic rules? Did I miss an explanation about why the rules could suddenly change or disappear? In order for the story construction, for the writing in supernatural fiction to make sense, there has to be some indication or explanation showing that the writer didn't just forget the rules or wind up disregarding them for the sake of convenience—so that the book could have a particular ending.Even though I enjoyed the read, I'm also scratching my head.Anyhow. On a much different note, I must say that I really like the simple imagery of this book's cover—how it sets a wintry but warmly nostalgic tone at the same time.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I was gifted a copy of “Forever Christmas” via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That in no way changes my opinion of this book.
I love Christmas books, especially now that the weather is getting cold and soon we will see snow. So when I was offered an opportunity to read “Forever Christmas”, I jumped on the chance. I was not disappointed and neither will you be.
Andrew is a literary agent, and he devotes much of his time to his career; too much if you ask his wife, Beth. They were best friends turned sweet hearts much of their lives, and had the same goals and aspirations in life. Then Andrew’s career took first place and Beth was left on the sidelines, almost like a stranger in her husband’s world. When a tragedy strikes Christmas Eve, Andrew would give anything to turn back time and make things right. When he is given the past 3 days to do over, he wants to give it all he has, and not lose Beth. Unfortunately, her fate is sealed, and he is determined to fight fate.
Can Andrew make things right again? Is he prepared to give her the best gift imaginable, the ultimate sacrifice?
“Forever Christmas” will captivate you from the beginning and you won’t want to stop reading until the very end. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Although a different story and plot, this book reminded me a lot of “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Andrew, a rising agent in the literary world, has realized he is about to lose his wife and marriage, and does everything possible to keep this from happening. His wife, Beth, has struggled through the lean and difficult times alongside Andrew, but has finally begun to wonder if it is all worth the effort when Andrew seems so preoccupied with his career. On a whim and totally unlike him, Andrew and his wife take off for a weekend back in their old home town, a small place in Pennsylvania—the one they left for Andrew’s career advancement. Once in the town, Andrew’s eyes are opened about just who his wife really is, what makes and keeps her going, and some of what he should be doing in their marriage. However, it isn’t until the very end of the book that Andrew finally realizes and embraces his marriage to Beth and how he needs to be an integral part of it. I loved this book. Though it is only September and the temperatures here in Florida hover around ninety degrees, once I began, I was immediately swept up into a cold, wintery December in the North, with the holidays approaching. I laughed. I cried. I could not put the book down until I finally learned what was going to happen to this couple in the last pages. It was a real page turner for me, and one I will not soon forget. I think this can easily become a holiday classic, and I can see a movie being made of the story—a movie that will endear viewers like so many others holiday classics do. The characters in the story were realistically and well developed. The story progressed along nicely. I took a lot away from this story, and, as I said, I will not forget it soon. I think everyone who enjoys a great, feel-good story to put him or her in a holiday mood will find this one well worth the time and effort. If I could give it more than five stars, I definitely would. I was lucky to get an advanced copy through NetGalley.
