dvb615's review against another edition
2.0
0 character development (why are these characters the way they are?)... 0 depth, much cliche which results in eye-rolling on your part, seriously only got through it for the holiday theme. The second story was quite incredulous but luckily came together in the end. Till I got there though it was like reading (witnessing) a train wreck.

Ugh. Compilation books like this are typically tough. Jane Green's story was cute and simple but had next to nothing to do with Christmas. Jennifer Coburn's was unreadable. 10 pages in there were already so many characters thrown at me I had zero clue what was going on and was not about to restart a story that is already less than 100 pages. Liz Ireland's was definitely my favorite. I feel like it was most worthy of being a full novel length and I enjoyed a number of the characters in a very short time. Plus it had more Christmas focus which is what you would hope to expect in a Christnas themed anthology. All in all, I probably wouldn't recommend this one to most people but it is a quick read, very simplistic and straightforward, but lacking in the Christmas cheer I was hoping for.

I would rate this 2.5 stars if I could but I can't so I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt because I picked this up specifically to read Jane Green's story. which is exactly what I did and I wasn't very satisfied with the ending. Sarah and Eddie got married 9 years ago and have gotten to the point where they feel old and out of love so they have a separation period. that part of the book is pretty good the characters become related but the ending (pardon my French) is just shit! its so rushed with no real resolution to it. from what I can tell they slept together and are all happy hunky dory now. I don't the story just feels very incomplete to me.
