Lexie got on my nerves a bit, but I enjoyed the romance. But what's with the cover? I get that decorating Christmas trees is basically a requirement for Hallmark Christmas movies, but shockingly they don't decorate trees OR bake cookies in this book. (Don't mind me, I'm just a writer who periodically gets annoyed at designers for not reading the copy.)

Lexie was not a likable FMC. Honestly that ruined the whole book for me.

A Winter Wish is my first book by Emily Stone. Lexi has inherited half of her estranged father’s travel agency along with Theo, the handsome young executive she now must work with.
This book did have holiday vibes which I enjoyed but it does take place over a year and not just one holiday.While I can see the travel agency/company aspect to be dated- I thought it was a fun backdrop to the story. As far as the romance goes, it was there but I wasn’t captivated by it. What I really loved was the themes of grief and making space for different perspectives and life experiences.
People are complicated
