Set on Nantucket Let It Snow is a celebration of friendship, love, and the holidays. A young shoplifter changes the course of Christina's life. Wink brings her uncle and grandfather into Christina's life and her business and her life will never be the same. Will Christina be able to open her heart to the magic of the holidays and life?

Christina owns a toy store in one of 4 small shops on a wharf in Nantucket. She loves the island, her fellow shop owners are good friends, and it’s Christmas, a busy and lucrative time in her shop. When a young girl, Wink, tries to shoplift a sticker book Christina stop her and is saddened by her explanation why. She and the other shopkeepers put together a gift basket for her, and Wink is delighted with her new toys, until her mother storms in demanding they take everything back, as Wink is the granddaughter of a multimillionaire, also their landlord. Through this Christina meets Andy who is the son of her millionaire landlord and as they hit it off she spends a lot of great times with him and Wink, until his father informs the group he’s raising their rents 10%.
I love Nancy Thayer books, especially her stellar and nuanced last two, but while I enjoyed Let It Snow, the plot and writing seemed too formulaic, lacked any depth, as well as being repetitive, describing what she sold in her toy store everyday.

This was a joyful read. Christina owns a toy store on the water. She catches a little girl shoplifting and gives her a job and pays her. Christina and the shredders decide to give wink some Christmas presents and her moms comes to return them and tells Christina her father is a multimillionaire and she doesn't need charity. Christina then meets Andy winks uncle and they start having feelings for her. Great read

Let It Snow is a sweet story highlighting the charms of Nantucket at Christmas time. The author has created a wonderful group of characters: four shopkeepers, a precious, precocious child, a curmudgeonly landlord and his adult children, all trying to capture the spirit and essence of the holiday while struggling with the realities of living. Can the shopkeepers remain in business? Can an estranged couple find common ground? Can a man who seems only to value the amount of money he makes ever change the way he sees the world? Can two people from different economic circumstances trust each other enough to fall in love? Readers should fall in love with this story. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. Highly recommend.

Let it Snow is Nancy Thayer's latest novel set on Natucket at Christmas and it takes places in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Christina and her other "shedders" - those that have stores in the historic sheds on the Straight Wharf - are preparing for Christmas and hoping they make enough sales to last them through the winter until the summer season begins. Christina befriends a small shoplifting child and the story is off!

What's charming for me about this story is that I've been to Nantucket (partially due to my love of Nancy's books!) and I've shopped in these sheds. While the stores are fictional, the actual location is real but I don't know how true to life the story is about how cold they are in the winter since it was late fall when I was there. They are rustic though and all the stores are so unique!

Back to the story - I felt that it was a bit simplistic but often at Christmas that's just the kind of story I want. If you're looking for a book to bring on the Hallmark/Lifetime Christmas movie feels, this will be right up your alley.

I could have done without Inner Christina, which is my only real complaint about the book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for an eARC copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

Dreamy setting, Dreamy characters, dreamy story line....al set around Christmas. What more could you want? I enjoyed from start to finish and will look into reading more books from Nancy Thayer

Who can resist Nancy Thayer's Nantucket? And setting a Christmas story there will have fans smiling. Along with a lovely setting, we get delightful characters with a bit of romance tossed in. Perfect!
