The First Backwards Christmas by Brooke Williams – Review by Krystal Gaston

The First Backwards ChristmasThe First Backwards Christmas by Brooke Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The First Backwards Christmas written by Brooke Williams. This story is a short quick read, and is about giving a town hope at a second chance. The storyline was a bit odd with the handstands but the rest of it was cute. Jack and Joy make a cute couple who are willing to try anything to save the town they love. Even if it means having a backwards Christmas.

The First Backward Christmas by Brooke Williams is a sweet holiday romance, full of the wonder, and magic of Christmas. Even though it is a follow-on from Another Backward Christmas, it explains how the backward Christmas tradition started.
I loved Another Backward Christmas, so I knew as soon as I saw this book pop up on my recommended feed, that I had to read it. I am happy that I grabbed a copy, as it kept me engaged from beginning to end, giving me all the Christmas ‘feels’ that I love. It is a novella length story, which made it a very quick and easy read. Even so, Ms. Williams manages to fit a lot into a short amount of space, without making the story feel rushed or lacking in any way.
I really enjoyed following Jack Furst and Joyce Nicholson on this delightful, fun, Light-hearted, and uplifting read- and discovering how the Backward Christmas tradition began. If you enjoy a great Christmas story, then this book is well worth the read!
I look forward to more from Ms. Williams!

Thank you, Ms. Williams!

“I’d wait for you all day if that’s what it took.” awwwww so sweet, right? This whole story is full of clean – swoon worthy romance.

This is the origin story of how South Pole, Alaska became the town known for “Backwards Christmas”. While this is the third book written about this town, it absolutely can be read as a stand-alone and out of order. I’m so glad this book was written because I was always curious how the town came to be known as it was and why the mistletoe was painted on the sidewalk.

This is one of those books that just made me smile the more I read. It is a classic (name of channel redacted because of copyright infringement) Christmas Channel movie that is sweet and predictable and yet so much fun to watch.

I would absolutely recommend this story to my mother’s book club and younger cousins alike.

This is a perfect story! I have read one of the others in the series and it intrigued me. Wondering how it all got started. This book answers my questions. It is short and sweet but gives me everything I needed.
The characters in here have such spirit. I enjoy not only their names but what they bring to the story. It almost seems magical.
Very cute and enjoyable.
