emotional hopeful inspiring medium-paced

I didn’t really want to finish it. The book would have been better without the first chapter for me. I don’t like starting on that note and it bugged me the whole way through. Supposed to be a feel-good book but left me feeling angry/annoyed and unforgiving instead.

Way too much fantasy and fluff in this one.

A theme of forgiveness between family members.  A suspension of reality where a patient’s coma-induced dreams come true through a suspension of reality.

This book had a great first 2/3rds but the ending was a bit too cheesy for me. I love this author but this book was not a reflection of her great work. But the idea of it all and the hallmark-esque style is very magical for Christmas.
