I wasn't sure I was really going to like this novella, but it is one of my favorites of the season so far! The storyline is very compelling--a postcard from WWII turns up after 60 years, prompting a search for the people involved--and the writing is excellent. I was moved by the WWII thread in the plot and found the characters to be very vividly drawn and realistic. The length was perfect for my attention span these days with Christmas drawing nearer every second. When I finished The Last Christmas Card, I felt uplifted and satisfied. I definitely had a smile on my face from the happy ending.Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed The Last Christmas Card and will probably make reading it a holiday tradition. I highly recommend this holiday novella.As a note, there is a strong religious element/theme to the novella which may be a turn off for some readers, but happily for me, this wasn't the case. I found the religious element to ring true for these characters and didn't feel beat over the head with Jesus when I finished.
