About the Book
After being jilted the day before her Christmas wedding,
Sara Jane hates the holidays. Holly and mistletoe are a painful reminder that
happily-ever-after isn't for her. Now, this Christmas, her baby sister is
getting married. Talk about adding insult to injury! Forced into faux Christmas
joy while she helps plan the nuptials, Sara Jane just wants to escape to
Athens, Greece--away from the judgmental stares and snickers of her family and
friends. God, on the other hand, may have other plans. Maxwell Dixon has
secretly loved Sara Jane since they were children. Like so many tragic
childhood love stories, however, he was relegated to "friend status"
long ago. But when Sara Jane needs him for moral support and to be a safe date
at the wedding, Max decides it's time to show Sara Jane what love and Christmas
are all about.
My Review
You know it’s going to be a fun story when a wiseacre kid is
involved. Worst Christmas Ever opens on Sara Jane tangled in a mess partly her
fault, partly her ex-fiancé’s fault and partly her spoiled silly sister’s
fault. Sara’s young cousin, whom she’s supposed to be kid-sitting, calls the
second-to-last person Sara wants to see while caught up in her predicament. On
Christmas Eve, she’s rescued by her friend, the boy next door, and the tone of
the story is set.
Neighbor and one-time high school boyfriend Max is willing
to give Sara Jane a lot of latitude in their buddy-buddy relationship, as long
as it keeps him close and familiar to his favorite klutz. As the years pass and
they even go into business together, he realizes that it’s up to him to break
out of the neat and tidy box he let Sara build around him. After all, who knows
her better than anyone else? With the help of Sara’s wise aunt, mistletoe, and
a can of stain remover, Max takes a chance that Sara Jane might be willing to
consider his suit in a different light.
Told from alternating viewpoints, this sweet little holiday
romance will give you the chuckles as you destress in between holiday
activities—or any other time of the year. Much fun for the inspirational
romance reader. I listened to the audio and LOVED the narrator, Julie Niblett.
