3.0
-Protagonist who moved from her big city life to a small town where she has a job that would absolutely not pay the bills (she owns a wrapping paper store)? Check
-Small town that is obsessed with Christmas and has a weirdly Christmassy name (it's Wishing Tree)? Check
-Love story that plays out in the first half of the book leaving us in suspense about what the third act drama will be? Check
This book was really just a Hallmark movie but written down, and truly I expected little else. It was decent, didn't make a whole lot of sense, involved everything going perfectly until a small miscommunication derails everything (which is fixed very easily), and it was a good read for this time of year. Nothing that required much thinking.
