I thought it was a fun book. I typically read more thriller or suspense and mystery books, but this was a good break from that. I really enjoyed it.

3.5 really. It was a really cute, wintry Rom-Com, but it dragged a bit in the beginning. Minnie, for me, is on the cusp of "likeable" but not quite there. There were a lot of extra characters that took up breathing space who didn't really need to (ahem, Allen).

Otherwise, it was a fun, light read with a predictable ending. So, just what I needed.

So sweet, and yes, heart-warming. I loved how each character progressed and developed. Fantastically written, following their whole year felt paced well and the flashbacks were perfect. There’s a lot of love and growth in this book
