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.
