REVIEW
“All you have to do is believe.”
The Christmas Wishing Tree is a sweet story with a reluctant romance and a bit of mystical tone. There’s a bit of mystery/suspense, holiday spirit, and healing. The town people of Eternity Springs are welcoming and generous. They really embraced Jenna and Reilly and it was the perfect place for them to heal. The story covers over a period of time and not just the Christmas season. It gives the relationship time to develop and grow. This is the first Emily March book I’ve read, so it can definitely be read as a standalone read. All the characters were wonderful and I will have to go back and read their stories from previous Eternity Springs books. The setting and characters come to life and I really enjoyed the story. Loved the ending – the phone call was perfect.
