2.5

If you want a book full of proposals and babies this is for you (Seriously three proposals in the last 25% of this book). The majority of this book is fun and predictable but there is one part that shocked me and just made me sad. In one of the flashback chapter we find out

Isabelle and Elias had a miscarriage when they were seniors in high school

and it was just way darker then I thought this fluffy book was going to get. I should have checked the content warning but I am putting my warning out there just in case it helps someone be prepared.

Have I mentioned recently how much I freaking LOVE Claire Kingsley books? Her characters are so real and relatable, and she does dual POV ridiculously well. I loved Isabelle’s fire and determination, and even Elias’s dedication to being a Scrooge, LOL! And Maddie! So. Freaking. Cute. There really is a lot to love about this Small Town Christmas Romance! You don’t even have to have read The Bailey Brothers series to enjoy it, but highly suggest you do all the same!
