Midnight Kiss

A friend once told me that New Year’s Eve was more of a date night than even Valentine’s Day. She wound up with some pretty quiet New Year’s whenever there was no man in her life, but I never bought that. I always celebrated, even if all my friends and I did was go out to a club and dance the night away. And I never went without that midnight kiss, even if he was a stranger and the kiss was just a quick peck. There is something about a kiss right at the start of the New Year that promises love in the coming 365 days, even though that love is sometimes “just” that of friends and family. So I was excited to read about a book that had New Year’s rather than Christmas as the important holiday.
