Review: It Happened One Christmas by Chantel Guertin 

This feel good romance is the perfect read for your upcoming holiday tbr. 

Zoey is trying to find the perfect location to shoot her Christmas movie, and that location is Chelsea, Quebec. Why Chelsea when she could use closer, and more cost-effective and less complicated, locations to L.A.? Because Chelsea holds her only positive Christmas memory from her childhood. She returns, determined to get permission to have her movie filmed on location, only to be thwarted by the weather and the handsome town mayor. 

This Canadian Christmas romance is adventurous and heartwarming with a strong female protagonist. I love that it was set locally - I actually drove past Chelsea while reading it. I got to learn about some new Christmas traditions, and it even had a bit of heat to warm up the frosty setting. 

If you’re looking for Hallmark-esque holiday read, look no further. Thank you to Penguin Random House Canada and netgalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
