Blurb: The countdown to midnight is on with this collection of New Year’s Eve–themed short stories that spans from heartwarming to heartbreaking

The last night of the year is often associated with champagne and music, resolutions, and, for many, finding that perfect person to kiss upon the stroke of midnight. And while the nine stories in this collection certainly don’t lack the music and the dancing, the kissing and the goal setting, the characters in Another Chance to Get It Right: A New Year’s Eve Anthology experience a wide range of emotions as they find themselves closing out one year and looking to the next. As you reflect on your achievements from this past year and decide whether you’ll be making resolutions for the upcoming one, spend some time with these featured stories. Whether they’re welcoming the birth of a child, grieving an unexpected loss, contemplating a career move, or simply looking forward to counting down to midnight with their best friend and the girl they have a massive crush on, these characters all find themselves in similar positions as the clock runs out on the year: a decision looms that will set the tone for the next one—and possibly many more to come. Reviews: “Hope, romance, second chances, and finding self-confidence are just a few of the themes you'll come across in this book. I recommend Another Chance to Get It Right not only for the holidays, although it would make a great gift, but also for all throughout the year.” “Here are nine short stories to take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions regarding New Years Eve! Stories of hope, new beginnings, understanding and more on a night for resolutions and choices.” “What I especially appreciated was the balance between humor and depth. It wasn’t all cracks and giggles; several stories had open or even bittersweet endings that reflect the reality of New Year’s for many. Not everyone rings in the new year with a kiss at midnight; some characters need to spend New Year’s alone and find contentment within themselves, while others take the time to gain a new perspective. Those kinds of stories were my favorite! It felt so human, if that makes sense? The characters and their struggles felt genuine and relatable.”

Robertson "Trekking to Elf School" by Elizabeth Baizel "The Turn at Crooked Creek" by Dan Houston "A Summer Tradition" by Jessica Daniliuk "Millennial Magic" by Mitchell S. Elrick No matter where these characters find themselves, or what they have on hand, they must navigate more than just these shared spaces, including their feelings for each other, secrets they've been hiding, inner struggles, and the decision of whether and how to make this romance last when summer comes to an end.
