Second Chance Christmas by Jahquel J is a heartfelt and emotional holiday read that feels like a Hallmark movie with deeper layers. Rome and Faith’s story pulled at my heartstrings as they navigated the pain of a shared tragedy from high school and reunited 15 years later in their small hometown. Their journey toward healing and love is beautifully written, and the audiobook narration perfectly brings the emotions to life. While the story unfolds over the Christmas holiday, it focuses more on the characters' emotional journeys than festive scenes. I recommend reading this now, especially if you enjoy second-chance romances with serious and heavy themes. Five stars!
