Oh this book just hit all the right notes. Christmassy with humor, drama, longing - all the perfect bits of a romcom. Kate is such a fun character to follow - witty and caring with strangers and friends alike, but is also so human and flawed and just the most down to earth character to embark on this dating adventure. Highly recommend this holiday romcom!

Audiobook:I love the narration and felt it personified Kate so perfectly as she went through the twelve dates with so much levity even when she’s having an eternity debate against her own feelings.

This was such a cute and cozy Christmas romance. The 12 dates definitely gave the story a little twist and even though the end was somewhat predictable, it was still very enjoyable. I would watch this as a movie too.

Loved the banter, loved the snark and the festivities throughout this book. This little snowy town seemed lovely. I have also realized I love holiday rom coms centered around Christmas themed dates

It has been a few weeks since I’ve read this book now, but I keep thinking about how lovely it was and it makes me heart so happy! ❤️ I absolutely love stories set in little towns like Blexford, I only wish I could live there! Perfect read for cosy Christmas vibes can’t wait to re-read next Christmas! ✨

A cozy, sweet, and comedic holiday read! Bayliss will definitely be on the agenda for holiday season 2022!

This books orbits around the Gilmore Girls which I'm not mad about, but it did make the ending very predictable, from the first chapter actually...

It had its funny moments but overall it felt like there were too many unnecessary details thrown in that made it feel congested.

All in all, a very enjoyable read. I liked the characters and the pace. The intrigue was there the whole way through.
However, I would have preferred Kate falling for someone she met on the dates. It would have been a fun concept, but it is what it is. Some bits from the men she had dates with seemed illogical and not real, ie. sitting at a table with someone you just met and sobbing over an ex without excusing yourself to go to the bathroom, or suddenly realizing that you do love your baby mama just because she’s sick… idk it just made me roll my eyes and sigh because it felt like weird ways to tick off the men somehow.

In the end I did like how Matt and Kate got together but I knew it was coming from the start and it annoyed me.
