Didn’t like how casually Holly has lied to people. It was quite frustrating. Loved Holly’s friendship with Emma quite so much though. Anyway, it’s such a great story but a bit too heavy for jolly Christmas time, I guess.

It was too depressing for my mood, even though the blurb indicated a happy ending

Be warned: This is NOT a cute holiday rom-com. It’s depressing and the romance is seriously lacking.
