A Nantucket shopkeeper discovers that Christmas is the perfect occasion to make unexpected friendships, to warm the coldest of hearts–and maybe even to find love.
Christina Antonioni is preparing for the holidays at her Nantucket toy shop, unpacking last-minute shipments and decorating for her loyal Christmas shoppers. But when her Scrooge of a landlord, Oscar Bittlesman, raises her rent, it seems nearly impossible for Christina to continue business on the wharf.
Even so, Christina firmly believes there may be a warm heart underneath Oscar’s steely exterior. When she bonds with Wink, his sweet, young granddaughter who frequents the shop, it becomes clear that perhaps he isn’t so cold after all. And with the help of Wink’s uncle, who happens to be a charming (and extremely wealthy) bachelor, this may be the best Christmas any of them could have ever imagined.

My Rating: 4 stars
LET IT SNOW delivers a charming Christmas story with touches of family, community and finding love in unexpected places. And if this story doesn’t remind you of Scrooge, then I’d be surprised since our crotchety, grumpy old man is raising rents so high on his wharf properties that the “shedders” businesses will have no choice but to close. Enter a potential shoplifting 9-year-old, her handsome and extremely rich uncle, and a group of people who will always have each other’s backs no matter what happens and you’ll find a charming, realistic, funny, heart-touching story to warm your Christmas spirit quite nicely.
Sometimes I believe the less said the better for you really should experience LET IT SNOW firsthand to get all the nuances, the undercurrents, and the personalities involved – and not just the main characters. I enjoyed Christina, Andy and “Wink” so much, I believe you’ll devour their adventures as well. And if you get a major dose of Christmas cheer with all the trimmings, all the better.
