Ever since I first visited Garland in Project Scrooge, I have looked forward to heading back in A.M. Heath's Christmas in Garland series. I was really intrigued when I learned that this newest story, Journey to Christmas, was loosely inspired by Shrek.
Felicity has been living in Knoxville, but has found it necessary to move back to Garland, moving in with her grandmother who isn't a huge fan of Felicity's choice of career. So, it's already not a great situation. Then, her brother, who was supposed to help her move, is unable to help, and arranges for Shane Abernathy to help, along with another friend, Drew. Problem is, Shane doesn't have the greatest reputation because of the family he was born into. Even though he is trying to make something of himself, he can't see his own worth because of his background.
Felicity also has issues to work through. Her whole life has been revolving around her social media presence, which isn't real.
I really enjoyed seeing their relationship evolve. But even more, I loved the way they see their value in Christ.
And, I have to mention that I just loved Drew, and the song references, and the humor.
And of course, I mentioned that I love being able to visit the small town of Garland, and just love the cozy feel of the town and its Christmas traditions.
I absolutely love this series, and this newest book, and was so excited when I leared that the author has more books planned for this series.
I received an e-copy of this book as a member of the launch team and was not required to write a favorable review. These are my own honest thoughts.
