Book Summary:

Nine years to fall in love. Eight nights to learn the truth. One chance to rewrite the past.

Ellie Klein fled Vermont after graduating high school, and she hasn’t been back since. Not to see her overbearing parents nor her distant brother, not even to visit her temperamental cat and beloved dog. And most importantly, she hasn’t been back to see Theo Fox. Her first love and brother’s best friend has been but a distant and painful memory for the last seven years.

When Ellie’s travel site lands her back where it all began, her goal is to get in and out without seeing anyone from before. But life has other plans when she’s caught in a blizzard that leaves her seeking refuge in a cabin owned by none other than the infamous Theo.

Theo Fox has been winning collegiate hockey and NHL championships since Ellie disappeared, but all he really wants is a second chance with the woman he can’t stop loving. When she shows up unannounced in Vermont, he’s determined to find out why she left and never returned. And if he has a little magic on his side, how to get her back.

Told over the course of nine Christmas Eves and eight nights of Hanukkah, A Little Magic is a cozy, nostalgic story of young love, finding your voice, and the complexities of what it means to be a family.

”You.”

Review/Thoughts:
This was the perfect book to pick up while being snowed in at home for the weekend! This book had such fun, cozy, wintery vibes.

I truly enjoyed the characters Theo and Ellie, as well as their past and present relationship. Observing their friendship and relationship evolve was delightful. I adored the wintery Christmas time setting.

Although I’m not typically a fan of dual timelines, it was well-executed in this book. The storytelling was somewhat convoluted due to the continuous shifts between timelines, but I found myself enjoying both (although the flashbacks were my favorite).

Overall, it’s a wonderful cozy winter read!
