3.5 stars - cute hallmark vibes which is all I’m really asking for this time of year
Also I just need to say the editor needed to pick up on the overuse of the phrase “dear friend”

I adored this story. Small town vibes, jam packed with their own trauma all the while supporting each other. It was beautiful and oh so sweet. I was instantly in love with both Amanda, Rafe and his son Isaac. All the townspeople were just so darn adorable it made me want to jump right into my book and be a part of it all. I laugh, I gasped, I cried, and I wouldn’t change a thing.
An absolutely perfect Christmas Hallmark style book.

RaeAnne Thayne perfectly captures the magic of Christmas, and the importace of family in The December Market. Amanda Taylor focuses her energy in helping others, and her soap shop. She has had her fair share of loss, but continues to show up for others, including Rafe. Charming Rafe is a single father, and has had his share of loss as well. They are both set on protecting their hearts, but find themselves with a budding romance when they spent plenty of time together at the hands of The December Market and Rafe's son. Their journal toward healing and opening their hearts up to love is beautifully written. This was a heartwarming holiday read that will make you believe in love and the spirit of the season! Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the free eARC in exchange for an honest review.
