The main thing I liked about this book was, thankfully, Darcy and Elle’s relationship. They were just so soft for each other, and you could tell they were genuinely connected. It gave me butterflies, and I particularly liked Darcy’s POV in the beginning. However, apart from this I just felt like I was missing something. The story needed more atmosphere and generally more scene description, as I definitely felt that it suffered from white-room. Like, it was set in the holiday season, yet it didn’t feel Christmassy or wintery at all. I also think the story was a little boring at times and could have used more plot or involvement of side characters. All in all, I really wanted to love this but it fell a little flat for me.
