Falling in love via anonymous hand written letters in a charming small town? I’ll take it!

I gave this one two stars, but this is NOT a bad book. At all. I think it just wasn’t quiiiite up to scratch. But so easy to read to get in the festive spirit!

This book had all the cute ideas and possibilities for a stellar story, however I felt as though it was a little bit average. I read it, I liked it, I liked the characters, it was good. But that’s it. It was just good.

The storyline for this book had really good potential, and I think it would make a ridiculously cute movie, but I did feel as though some bits were perhaps a bit shallow/rushed.

Anyways if you’re after a quick and very predictable read, give it a go. I hadn’t read anything by this author previously, but I’d still like to check out some of her other books.

If you loved You've Got Mail (guilty as charged), you'll love this book. Sweet and wholesome, and clean enough to share with Hallmark and your dad.

I LOVED this so much! You've Got Mail is my all time favorite movie, so any book with those vibes will automatically be a fave. Sometimes novellas go too quickly for me, but this book was perfectly paced. It didn't feel too rushed and I felt like I was able to get to know the characters and still experience all the swoony moments. It really is the perfect holiday read!
