A Jingle Bell Mingle (Christmas Notch Book 3)

by Julie Murphy

“Sometimes the girls who seem like they don’t need anyone or anything are the ones who are the most easily hurt.”

“I know it doesn’t make things less hard, Isaac. But also it doesn’t cheapen your grief to be happy once in a while.”

Sometimes, stories bring the people we’ve lost back to us, you know? Even if it’s just for a few minutes, even if it’s only for one. It could be a kind of gift, getting to tell someone. Getting to remember out loud.”

Love can make someone flare back to life like a lit match, and even after the match sputters and dies, you remember its warmth and its light.”
