Reading this felt like snuggling into a blanket on a cold day – warmth and joy. Waiting for Gilbert is everything I didn’t know I needed—a cozy Christmas romance wrapped in small-town charm, sprinkled with Anne of Green Gables vibes, and finishing with a heartfelt thread of the real meaning of Christmas.
CJ Thompson had me laughing, cringing, and rooting for her. She’s determined to trade in her carefree, whimsical self for a more serious, adult version—but her efforts are hilariously doomed. Life has other plans, and they come knocking at 2:00 a.m. in the form of Gilbert, her cello-playing, heart-melting landlord.
And oh, Gilbert. Can we just pause for a moment to appreciate how perfectly imperfect he is? Steady, kind, and with a quiet strength that grounds CJ’s whirlwind energy, he’s the kind of hero who doesn’t just sweep you off your feet—he steadies them. Their chemistry crackles with humor, banter, and those tender, soul-deep moments that sneak up on you and make you sigh.
What I loved most was the Christmas Eve worship scene. It reminds us of the simple, profound joy that comes from knowing God and His love, especially during the holiday season when we’re all yearning for the hold in our heart to be filled like only He can.
This book is funny, heartwarming, and filled with moments that had me pausing to soak in the sweetness. If you’re looking for a Christmas story that’ll leave you grinning like a kid on Christmas morning, look no further.
