Josi Kilpack's new Christmas story, The Christmas Waltz, is quite unique. It's about a couple who only meets once a year and through this small interaction, develop feelings for one another. Feelings that can't be acted upon. I wasn't expecting that at all! This is an angsty story with a poignant message.
I thought the author drew the characters well. I liked that each chapter alternated from the hero's and then heroine's perspective so we could get a full picture of each of their feelings as the years went on. It is a heart-wrenching story in some places, but there are enough light moments to keep from bogging it down. I was thinking this would be a lighter, fluffier Christmas story, but enjoyed the deeper and more reflective one.

One dance, once a year.This defines Marta and David’s friendship from the moment they first meet at the Yuletide Ball. Now, dancing the annual Christmas Waltz is a tradition between the pair in which they agree to tell each other the truth about their lives. Over the years that follow, their lives take different directions, wrong turns, and heartbreaking spirals, but they never miss their chance to reconnect and encourage one another to live their best lives, even if they can’t live them side by side.
