Fresh Fiction Review

A Shoe Addict's Christmas
Beth Harbison

Reviewed by Sharon Salituro

Romance Contemporary | Holiday

Despite her name, shop-worker Noelle has never been a huge fan of Christmas. The busy holiday causes too much stress in her life, but on Christmas Eve she finds herself locked in the store, Simons, until morning. The night she spends locked into her work place provides Noelle the enviable opportunity to raid every department at Simons as she "window shops" until morning.

As you can imagine, all that roaming around gets tiring, and just as she settles into her home away from home, Noelle hears a jarring bang. Just as she is about to go to sleep, Noelle hears a bang. A woman named Charlie stumbles into Noelle's life and declares herself Noelle's guardian angel. What a preposterous idea, but as the night turns to day, Noelle faces the demons of her past and eventually learns to find happiness in the Christmas Spirit.

A SHOE ADDICT'S CHRISTMAS is a wonderful book. Beth Harbison spins a fairy tale around Christmas. While I hate to say it, I am not a big Christmas person. However, this book really made me smile and made me wonder how my life might have turned out differently if I changed a few things. That is always a sign of a good book. One that makes you think and reflect.

Although it is no longer Christmas, A SHOE ADDICT'S CHRISTMAS is a wonderful read that captures the essence of the winter holiday, but does not need to be read only in December.

SUMMARY

From the author of the beloved bestseller Shoe Addicts Anonymous comes a heartwarming twist on a classic tale filled with holiday cheer.

Noelle is not a fan of the holidays and to make matters worse, she is at a crossroads in her life when it seems that love and adventure are no longer possible. When she stays late at her job in a department store on a snowy Christmas Eve she accidentally gets locked in after closing. She isn’t too concerned about the prospect of spending the night in the store…until a woman appears out of nowhere and tells Noelle that she’s her guardian angel. Soon Noelle finds herself camped out in the shoe department facing several “ghosts” of Christmases past, present, and future...

Will visiting the holidays of yesterday and tomorrow help Noelle see the true spirit of Christmas? And will the love she has longed for all her life be the best surprise gift of all?
