If you want a light-hearted Christmas read then this is not for you :)))
I’m balling my eyes out.
The message in this book, however, is incredibly heartwarming.


This book traumatised me on Christmas Day :)

I don't know why Cecelia's books aren't hitting like they used to.The last two books I read from her have been downright underwhelming and a little boring- and it pains me to say this- because she was once upon a time, my favorite author.

i feel its a good book to remind your family is more important than all the things. the starting plot was boring, later it paced up well. it will be a ok read.

Dull and boring with an insufferable main character. Has a decent message but what a chore to get there! I confess I actually skipped ahead a bit in some parts (which is something I normally never do) because I was so fed up with it.

took me a while to get into this book, but the ending was amazing! I did not see that coming. Great read

A decent Christmas read about the importance of time, and how you don't realize how little you have of it, until it's gone or almost gone.

loved it funny conversations great characters unexpected ending

Workaholics should really read this. Actually, people who don't seem to appreciate life and family and only thinks about work and being the best in everything should read this. Sometimes, being the best is not the best thing in life. You have to be happy enjoying life with family and friends and do things that you like to do. Yes, we need money but money alone doesn't guarantee happiness in life. This story is a prefect reflection of meaning of happiness in life. Read it!!
