2.5⭐️ rounded up- ughh. idk this didn’t do it for me. I think cassie over reacted and held the grudge for way too long, but that’s just my opinion. Idk, I felt like this could been stronger. Not for me
I— Wow. I don’t even know really where to begin this review…
When I first read the synopsis I was immediately drawn in, and then the longer it sat in my tbr and after reading some reviews, I became unsure if I was going to like this book. So it sat for two months.
I started this book this morning and I was just instantly hooked on it, I only stopped reading today when I needed to, I never wanted it to end funnily enough considering how quickly I flew through it.
I was immediately in love with both Tom and Sam, and saw a lot of myself in Cassie. Always worried about the things that could go wrong, being too scared to open up about her feelings, being unsure of taking steps that would lead her to where she truly wanted to be, etc.
I laughed, I got angry, I cried (many, many times). I felt so many different things while reading this book.
One Last Gift is gut wrenchingly beautiful in a way I just cannot describe.

An enjoyable Christmas read. Not super memorable, but enjoyable nonetheless.
I liked it, i was expecting a little cute christmasy romance, but this is more of a literally fiction woth a subplot of romance. I liked the way the mcs feelings were expressed. Teh grof was so intense but alos very understandable.

3.5 stars. It’s a hallmark movie. A decent one…but I’m not a huge fan of hallmark so I just don’t love it enough for higher rating. I always pick up Christmas books and want to love them but I struggle. Fluff just isn’t my cuppa. This one felt too much like PS I Love You
This book is far less sadder than her first one, and believe me, by the end of the first book I was bawling my eyes out. I enjoy the little treasure hunt and how our main character grows and develops a new sense of herself.

Emily Stone does it again with another emotional Christmas romance! I loved this one and it had one of my favorite tropes: brother’s best friend. It definitely packed the emotional punch while still having an endearing story about finding yourself. My only complaint was that I wanted a bit more from the romance. I wanted them to have more time together and more nuance. There was a little too much miscommunication. But other than that, I found this to be another fantastic emotional holiday romance.
