This book was like a warm hug. The loveliest Christmas book with very loveable characters. I especially loved Imogen and Sara. And of course, Miles the vet. The ideal book to read at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025.

I devoured this audio in 1 day! I was interested in Imogen's life right away and couldn't have guessed how things would turn out for her. This is not a light holiday book, its filled with substance, heartbreaking and heart-mending in turns. It is set at Christmas, but can be enjoyed even after the holidays.

This was cute, and definitely a fun way to begin the holiday season. But it overall felt slow, particularly the last half. I did like all of the characters, their backstory, and depth. I just felt like there was a lot of filler. The end is very sweet though and made me feel warm and fuzzy

Thanks so much to NetGalley for early digital arc of this holiday read! This is a multi POV story again from Morgan but I loved that these three women intertwined more than her characters in past books. Even though it was three people they were all telling the same story.

This holiday tale centers around Imogen and she definitely feels like our main FMC. I loved getting to really see and feel her life prior to the holiday cottage takeover. It made that shift all the more real.

I wouldn’t call this a romance—definitely more family drama/women’s fiction. There is definitely “family drama” and some intense mother/daughter manipulation, so if that is triggering for you, be warned.

But the twists and turns and holiday delights—which of course do include a handsome vet and loveable dog—leave you feeling all the hallmark warmth of Christmas. Definitely recommend!
