It's a romance but a very angsty, frustrating one. Character development is a strength, but the characters also make stupid decisions.
I suppose important things happen during the holidays but there are alot of things that happen NOT in December so calling it a Christmas/Holiday romance seems like a stretch.
It REALLY needs an epilogue!!! I slogged through nearly 10 years of pinning, angsty, frustration and only get the briefest of wrap ups at the end.
I definitely see why alot of people like this book but it is not a feel good, 'makes you smile' romance.
Very good writing, just not what I read romances for. They should lift my mood not put me in a funk.

The characters started off okay and then got pretty annoying. But lots of drama and emotional Infidelity which was too be expected and for what it was did keep the story entertaining
