A Christmas Wish (A Manhattan Dream) by Engy Neville – Review by Maura Harper

A Christmas Wish by Engy Neville
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A CHRISTMAS WISH is (obviously) a holiday story filled with dreams and wishes.

The story starts at The Hamptons with a fun-filled vacation and ends in the cold Manhattan winter. The times in between Summer and Winter allowed for the characters to work out some stuff and have a few “adventures” along the way.

I always feel bad when a book just isn’t my cup of tea and this is one of them. I never connected with any of the characters and felt like situations were written to make what could have been a lovely short story into a full length novel. There were so many cliches that I found myself wanting to roll my eyes often.

Here is what I did like about the book:

The meet cute – I enjoyed the fact that the female protagonist could experience such joy
Friendships – Every female should have a friend who always has her back
Amy’s love of her job – I wish everyone got as much joy out of their job as she did at the beginning of the story
Closed door sexy times – It was refreshing not to have a front row seat for every encounter

I always appreciate the fact that an author works so hard to bring their words to the page. Just because this book wasn’t for me, doesn’t mean it’s not the perfect book for you.
