This is such a heartwarming, lovely, easy, festive read! I loved it.
I felt I was there and I just wanted to know what happened next!
It made me feel warm inside and all ready for Christmas!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

An absolutely wonderful book. Bea has decisions to make about her life. A chance meeting on Christmas eve turns her life into a turmoil. Ollie who is on his way home for Christmas shares a table with Bea at the airport lounge and are seated by each other on the flight home. Bea is also going home for Christmas. They both work in London and both come from Ireland. when they land they say their goodbyes and go their separate ways. Then by chance they bump into each other again when back in London. Is it by chance they bump into each other or is there a reason they are in the same place at the same time?.
I enjoyed this story, I got totally involved with it, even to a point I shouted at Bea to sort herself out and do the right thing her heart was telling her to do on more than 1 occasion.
This book is well worth the read. A very nice feel good Christmas story.

Lovely Christmas read.
Ollie and Bea meet on Christmas Eve on the way home for Christmas.
Their paths cross over the next year, but they both have settled lives in their jobs and with their dreams.
Loved seeing how their dreams and lives mix.
Really nice Christmas book

I couldn't have loved this book more. Maybe Next Christmas is the most heartwarming and cosy book. I was cheering Ollie and Bea on the whole way and loved characters such as Leroy and Aunt Nora. This book gave me all the Christmas feels

A festive, heartwarming and well plotted novel that made me smile and root for the characters.
Loved the storytelling and the fleshed out characters
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I feel bad writing this because I know it takes a lot of effort to write and publish a book, but I thought this was really badly written. The dialogue was so clunky and didn't feel authentic or real. Repetitive, predictable, badly written. Would not recommend, even though I usually love this kind of book.

My thanks to Random House Publishers and NetGalley for a copy of “ Maybe Next Year” for an honest review.

From November I start trying to get into Christmas spirit by reading my festive books
For me this one stood out from the crowd, it was a bit different from the generic seasonal reads.
The characters were really likeable and the story, told from both sides of the couple, flowed perfectly.
I don’t think I’ve read anything by Emma Heatherington before but I’ll definitely look out for more by her.
A wonderfully heartwarming book to get you into the Christmas mood.

A cosy and sweet Christmas romance perfect to read while cosying up in front of a fire! A good story and interesting characters

A cute little Christmas romance that starts in the airport with a delayed flight. A perfect addition to your cozy holiday!
Thank you, NetGalley, for an advanced copy of this book!

Loved this story, a chance meeting that changed lives. Set from Christmas Eve to the following Christmas, Everything wasn't always aligned and different goals were in place but a chance meeting changed everything. Feel good read.

This was such a feel good book pair it with a mint hot chocolate and whipped cream and you’ve got yourself a match made in heaven (unless your lactose intolerant) the book was very well written and the story just flowed I can definitely see this being a festive Netflix film.

The characters are likeable and not annoying and I love that you get everything from festive to family, to grief and love I’m a firm believer in everything happens for a reason so Ollie and Beas chance meeting at the airport is fate.

I’ve not read anything by Emma Heatherington before but I’d definitely will do in the future.

Thank you netgalley

A truly wonderful Christmas romance. Delightful characters and such an emotional journey. I couldn’t put it down, and the plot line kept me interested from beginning to end. Beautifully written and just the right amount of Christmas sparkle.I highly recommend this book, so put it on your Christmas reading list. Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this book.

Loved this story. The characters of Bea and Ollie are so likeable and I found myself racing through the book to see if it all works out for them. A lovely heartwarming book.

Bea is flying home to Ireland when she gets stuck at the airport due to bad weather. Ollie is on his way home to and by chance they share a table in an airport pub to pass time. They hit it off, enjoying each other’s company and were happy to learn they were on the same flight home. But once landed in Ireland, they each go their separate ways.

Unfortunately, Bea has her reasons not to think of Ollie in a romantic way and Ollie wants to spend this Christmas with his father who is terminally ill.
The chapters alternates between Bea’s and Ollie’s point of view and it is amazing how a common friend unbeknownst to them is giving them a push in the right direction of love.

This was such a sweet story, both Bea and Ollie so likeable! Definitely one to curl up with on the sofa!

You can’t beat reading your first Christmas love story of the year. This was an absolute belter and sat reading it in one sitting. Full of Christmas cheer and showing that sometimes things are destined to be however difficult they seem.

Heartfelt Christmas story, told very well. Lovely characters well worth reading. Thank you netgalley for the advance copy

Maybe Next Christmas is a heartwarming, cosy Christmas read with a lovely cast of characters. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for my copy in return for an honest opinion.

What a lovely festive story. Bea is waiting for her flight home to Ireland and writing her thoughts and ideas down when Ollie appears, slightly flustered, thinking he may miss his flight home. A short delay is announced but Bea and Ollie end up sharing a table and a meal before the flights depart. When they move to board the flight by complete fluke, they are seated in the same row. For both of them it is very easy conversation and they have both fallen for each other a little.

Circumstances then change as for Bea there is a surprise proposal which she feels compelled to accept and Ollie has a dying father to focus his time on however they are both thinking of the other.

The story progresses throughout the next few months until a complete twist of fate brings them together again and they the. Have to navigate a whole new relationship.

All in all a lovely cosy festive read.

"Maybe Next Christmas" by Emma Heatherington was a delightful festive read that truly delivered in the end. While I found the beginning a little slow, once the story picked up, I was completely hooked and couldn’t put it down!

Emma's storytelling and knack for building relatable, heartfelt characters shines through, making the journey worth it. The Christmas charm, along with themes of love and second chances, make this one feel as cozy as her other novels.

Definitely recommended for fans of Christmas romances or anyone looking for a feel-good, warm festive read!

This really had a cosy feel to it, it started at one christmas for ended at the other, following two people who met at the airport, it didn't' really feel like a christmas book but it was a nice story.
