My Review:

I was going to read A Cross-Country Wedding, but when I realized it was the second book in the series, I started with A Cross-Country Christmas. I am glad I did. The second book will give spoilers to this one, so if you haven't read them, start with this one, and then immediately start the second one (like I did 😉).

Read for:

🎄she's grumpy/he's sunshine

🎄she's also Grinch/no Christmas spirit

🎄brother's best friend

🎄road-trip

🎄second-chance romance

🎄Christmas vibes

🎄living life to the fullest

🎄forgiveness

🎄Pops

Courtney Walsh's books always have great character development and depth to the story. This has a lot of light-hearted moments but also tender moments. I highly recommend it.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

Lauren Richmond isn’t a fan of Christmas.

Which is why she rarely makes the trip home to the Midwest for the holidays. After all, she has plenty to keep her busy—namely, her duties as a set decorator on a TV sitcom.

But this December, Lauren's brother and his wife are expecting a baby, so her brother arranges a ride home for her with his good friend, Will.

Unfortunately for Lauren, she’s been trying to forget college baseball coach and childhood crush Will Sinclair for more than ten years.

Now, thanks to her fear of flying, she’s stuck in a car with him from California to Illinois.

She’s circumspect and organized. He’s flirty and spontaneous.

She’s convinced that people don’t change. He’s trying to prove to her (and himself) that he has.

On this cross-country road trip, they’ll both discover that history doesn’t exactly repeat itself. . . but like any good Christmas carol, it does have a second verse.
