When Christmas Comes. Debbie Macomber. 2004. 256 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: What do you mean you won't be home for Christmas?
Premise/plot: Emily Springer wants more than anything to spend Christmas with her college-age daughter. [The daughter wants NOT to spend Christmas with her mother.] Charles Brewster wants to avoid his mother this Christmas [at the very least]. He's tired of getting pressured by his mother to find a nice girl and settle down. [His brother, Ray, also gets pressured by their mother.] These two meet up at some sort of trading spaces site. They decide to switch homes for the holiday. He'll go to Leavenworth. She'll go to Boston. Both will be in for a couple of big surprises over Christmas vacation.
My thoughts: This one was vaguely familiar to me. I then realized that it was because I'd seen the movie based on this book. [Trading Christmas] This sweet holiday read [mostly clean or at the very least off screen only] features several couples falling in love over Christmas.
I liked this one. It was cute.
