Logistics: A Christmas Story Kindle Edition

by Chris Coppel (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 20 ratings

After being abandoned at the age of two and a half, Holly Hillman was raised without whimsy or fantasy. She was taught that there were no such things as Santa Claus, fairies, elves or any other accepted fantasies that help a child deal with the harder realities of life. Now in her forties, she is the CEO of a Fortune 400 company. She rose to the top through hard work, but also by living without distractions or social attachments. Despite her rigidly ingrained dedication, Holly was content with her life, having never lived by any other tenet. Everything was perfect until she was required to give her DNA as part of a health check leading up her company’s merger with an Asian conglomerate.

The results of her test unlocked the secret of her unique ancestry, leading to her having to confront a fantastical truth that would forever change her views on life and reality itself.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulous book!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2023
    I started out reading this book like I would a thriller or suspense novel, but was pleasantly surprised to find out it was an adorable yet interesting story of love and believing with your heart and not just your brain.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Cleverly Written Must Be A Holiday Movie!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2022

    "She'd never stopped loving him for a minute. She'd just learned to lock such trivial emotions deep within her psyche."

    So begins the foundation for the career driven emotionally stilted female "Scrooge" in the cleverly written Logistics: A Christmas Story by indie author Chris Coppel.

    I really don't want to give too much away about this unique holiday tale that combines romance, science fiction, and pull on your heart string moments to leave its reader with the most content smile at the end.

    The basics are at age 2 Holly was found "abandoned" under a Christmas tree and adopted by extremely religious parents. When they have a life ending accident her adopted aunt who lives on a commune takes her in. The drastic life style changes leaves her with the need to forge her own path and never have to rely on anyone.

    She eventually becomes the CEO of a huge logistics firm with no social life abandoning her first love Will, who now works for her. When a DNA test for a work issue reveals she has no connection to any living human she re takes the test and finds her heredity is literally out of this world.

    I enjoyed this quick novel that had me laughing and then getting teary eyed at the next page. There is a great deal of wit, social commentary, scientific explanations, business acumen, wholesomeness and a lot of love that makes Holly's journey an adventurous, fun and very special new Christmas story to add to the classics.

    This book must be made into a movie! Sandra Bullock would be perfect as Holly and Chris Evans is Will!

    I received a free copy of this book from Black Coffee Book Tour for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Christmas Origin Story You Never Knew You Wanted!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2022
    ...And it delivers! To be honest, I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into when I picked up this book. Let's just say, I'm glad I did! Logistics: A Christmas Story is a creative, new-age take on a classic holiday story you thought you knew. Following the main character, Holly, on her journey of self discovery was a joy to partake in! And just when you think you know what will happen next, it turns out you have no idea. This uplifting story has something for everyone. You will laugh and you may cry as the story tugs at some nostalgic heartstrings. Chris Coppel has found a way to tap into the wonder you felt as a kid growing up at Christmas time. He has masterfully blended some sci-fi elements into the mysteries of believing in Santa and Christmas magic. While reading the story, I visualized the events taking place like a movie and I think one day it will be. It may even become a staple, yearly watch like, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and Scrooge. I certainly look forward to that happening someday but for now, I highly recommend this book! It is a great read during the holidays and will help get you into the Christmas spirit at anytime during the year!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Strong female lead and good holiday vibes
    Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2022
    I tend to like horror above all else. I definitely started reading Logistics like it was a horror (I think because most of Coppel's other stuff is darker) before realizing it was more Hallmark movie. That said, the writing was good. Holly, as the main female lead, was well-written and well-rounded.

    I also liked Coppel’s corporate take on the Santa mythos. It was rather fun to see how he tied the magic of Christmas in with how corporate America works.

    Overall the novella didn’t blow me away but I don’t think it was meant to be anything more than a popcorn tale of second chances, Christmas joy, and love. A lot of tropes, a lot of convenient plot moments, and no real conflict.

    However, I think this novella would make for a cozy holiday read for lovers of classic Hallmark movies. You know the ones. As a horror novella, only a 3/10 (3 is for the horrors of corporate America). As a holiday novella: 6/10
