A Christmas by the Sea
A Christmas by the Sea | Melody Carlson
10 posts | 9 read | 6 to read
When Wendy Harper inherits her family's beachside cottage in Seaside, Maine, she sees it as a way to finally pay off the debts that have mounted since her husband died. But before it can be sold, the neglected property must be renovated. She and her 12-year-old son Jackson move in--temporarily, she reminds him--in order to do the work themselves, even though Christmas is coming. The charming town, along with local craftsman Caleb Colton, pulls on both Wendy and Jackson, who even registers himself for school in a bid to get his mom to move them there permanently. Wendy knows that the most responsible thing to do is to sell the cottage and return to Ohio, but the lure of the sea is hard to resist. Join award-winning author Melody Carlson for a Christmas story that will warm your heart and have you dreaming of your own enchanted seaside holiday.

Ugh. Having read several of Melody Carlson‘s Christmas books and enjoyed them, I was highly disappointed in this. The dialogue is stilted, the main “conflict” is repeated ad nauseum, and in the end the main girl and guy decide to get married after knowing each other for 2 whole weeks. I couldn‘t roll my eyes far enough in the back of my head. 2⭐️

I don‘t quite know how to review this book. I enjoyed it, but I found the writing to be a bit simplistic. So if you‘re wanting a fast, fluffy read, this is the book for you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you like Hallmark Christmas movies then this book is for you (although it's even sappier if you can imagine that lol)
