Merry and Bright

I have been a longtime fan of the paperback book. First of all, if I can afford to buy one, I can then take my time reading it. Then I can share it with others, donate it, etc. No worry about library fines, etc. When I travel I like to put a book and magazines in my suitcase. So, I very much appreciate that Debbie Macomber is a prolific writer. I read a lot of academic type literature and sometimes I need some alternative reading material.

I enjoyed this quick Holiday read, and I will tell you once you start you won't want to close the cover. I personally love to read Debbie Macomber, a go to author for me, and this one did not disappoint. The author has us walking in Merry/Mary's shoes as she goes about her life, and then we meet Jayson Bright, and we see that not all of us are brought up with a loving family as Merry had. Jayson is a bright, handsome, and power driven man, Merry is working a temporary job to earn enough money to return to finish college, and at first you don't see much in common, but come along, there are so many chuckles awaiting. I don't think you will be disappointed with this one, just that I wanted more! I received this book through Net Galley and Ballantine Books, and was not required to give a positive review.
