The Christmas Town, by Elyse Douglas, is a new time travel, mystery, romance novel that was released on October 11, 2013.
Traveling home for Christmas, two young women in their 20s are forced to drive together during a snowstorm, and they get lost. They cross a covered bridge and, suddenly, they enter the past, finding themselves in a small picturesque Vermont town in 1943. They meet two handsome soldiers, who are about to be sent off to war, and they fall in love with them, while also struggling to find a way to return home to their own time.
With the soldiers’ help, on Christmas Eve, the two women finally have one chance to return to their own time, but they are caught between their love for the soldiers, and their desire to return to the present. At the last moment, they must make the difficult decision and, because it is Christmas, a miracle happens.
Goodreads Summary
Looking for a sweet holiday romance? Check out the Christmas Town! What starts out as female friendship (sort of) turns into a sweet romance. The reader will follow the adventures of two female friends who meet two soldiers. These soldiers turn out to be the romances of their lifetimes. What will happen when these two women have to go back to their own time? Will they be forced to leave their loved ones?
I did enjoy meeting all of the characters of the novel. I loved the characters and grew to feel like they were friends. I was really hoping they would be able to stay together at the end of the novel and I was so happy with the little miracle that appeared right at the end. This novel did surprise me for the better; this book is recommended to adult readers.

- I'm a young college student who has probably read over 5000 books over the course of my short life; some of the books were classics, some of the books were terrific, and some of the books were...misses. Even with the latter part I will always believe in the power of books to completely remove the reader from his/her present reality. Long Live Books! I would love to read and review books from just about any genre. To contact me: edysicecreamlover18 AT gmail DOT com Thank you for your interest! At this time, I can only accept paperback or hardcover. The finished review copies I receive are either kept in my personal collection or donated to several libaries, schools, or charities-I have no control over the finished review copies after donation. *I claim no ownership for any images used on this site.
