About The Book
Two best friends. Ten Christmases. One happy ending.
When best friends Alexandra and Lucas share a first kiss on Christmas night their senior year of high school, it feels like the best years of their lives are ahead of them.
Then Alex goes off to college, and Lucas stays behind to work at his dad’s construction business in the small beach town where they grew up. Life, as they say, happens. And somewhere along the way these two high school sweethearts find they don’t have as much in common as they once did.
Lucas’s life is on Beaufort Island, and Alex is all about getting away and moving on. So he makes one of the hardest decisions of his life and lets her go.
But every year when Alex comes home for the holidays, fate conspires to reunite the two former lovebirds on Christmas Day. Year after year, through good times and bad, Lucas and Alex meet up, catch up, and reconnect on the anniversary of their first kiss.
Is it too much to hope that one year they’ll find their way back to each other permanently?
Maybe even this Christmas.

My Thoughts
What an enjoyable read! This book has the perfect framework
for a holiday season movie. I hope someone with enough clout reads it and can
do something about it. But, enough about that and back to the book…
Initially childhood friends, Alex and Lucas connect romantically during their
final year of high school. Alex ends up going away to college while Lucas
chooses to stay in town. Distance soon makes this fledgling relationship
crumble but neither wants to sever the ties of friendship.
Each chapter in MAYBE THIS CHRISTMAS chronicles their relationship when they
catch up on December 25 in their small island hometown of Beaufort Island. Each
year brings surprises as they grow and mature into adults.
This book is definitely a romance, but it’s also a wonderful coming-of-age
story about two individuals: The self-discovery of who they are as they grow
into adults. The anguish of loving someone yet knowing you might not be what’s
best for them. The confusion of realising that in growing, your goals and
priorities change over time. It all comes across as highly relatable and true
to life.
Even though Alex and Lucas are not romantically in sync when they meet each
year, I loved their meetings. The awkwardness and hesitation of what to say and
how to act is apparent, but so is the love and respect these two have for each
other. I thoroughly enjoyed their unique courtship.
MAYBE THIS CHRISTMAS by Susannah Nix is definitely one to add to your holiday
season reading list.
