Darcy (Ali Liebert) loves to read. She has the perfect job working in a little bookstore in Manhattan. One day on the way to work on her bicycle, she crashes into a man and a dog, knocking the man, Aiden (Peter Porte) unconscious. She has to take the dog, since there is no one to take care of him, but when she finally visits the man in the hospital she is disturbed to find out that he has amnesia and is not able to remember who he is or where he lives. So Darcy jumps into “mystery” mode and does some detective work to figure out who he is. Meanwhile, the owner of the bookstore is ready to retire after the holiday and will close down or sell the store unless he can find someone to run it for him.
This is a touching story. It reminded me a bit of Sandra Bullock’s film “While You Were Sleeping”. There are so many delightful surprises along the way of finding out what the truth really is. The performances were really good, and I found myself really invested in the characters. There is plenty of story to go around, and it was really enjoyable. The chemistry is strong between the leads and the movie strikes all the notes. This new 2017 Hallmark Christmas film is a winner. Be sure to catch it.
