Now a profitable bookstore proprietor in a tight-knit Michigan lakeside neighborhood, Susan is dealing with down forty—the identical age as her mom when she died—and she will be able to’t assist however see all the pieces she hasn’t achieved, together with discovering a love match of her personal. So as to add to the stress, everybody in her small city believes it’s Susan’s future to satisfy and marry a person dressed as Santa, identical to her mom and grandmother earlier than her.

What follows is Susan and her pals’ hilarious and heartwarming seek for the thriller Santa—protecting twelve months of social media snafus, authors behaving badly and courting fails—in addition to a poignant take a look at household, friendship and what defines a well-lived and well-loved life.
Viola Shipman has been on my radar because of blogger pals, so I grabbed A Want For Winter for the Ho-Ho-Ho readathon as a winter choice, but it surely has a robust vacation theme as effectively. Susan’s life has been full of tragedy, love, books and a childhood want to meet her personal Kris Kringle.
That is very a lot a ladies’s fiction choice, and I cherished the small-town attraction, wealthy, colourful characters and character progress. Susan has a tightknit group of family and friends. I cherished the bookstore from occasions to celebrations.
The central storyline surrounds a Santa race the place Susan meets a person in a Santa suite who may simply be the one. Solely he fails to satisfy her after. Her pals assist with the hunt to seek out this Kris Kringle and alongside the best way we see character progress, therapeutic and extra. The story takes us via the foremost holidays, well being emergencies, blind dates, and e-book occasions because the search hits the media. I might see the story as a Hallmark film or movement image.
A touching story from starting to finish, all set with a bookstore because the backdrop. Whereas romance is central, the story is extra about friendship, household and private happiness. I cherished the comfortable unbiased bookstore and small-town in a giant metropolis attraction. I extremely advocate to followers of vacation chick-lit with well-developed characters and depth.
