Super cozy and fun read! Now, I want to make a Christmas commitment list every year!
Quincey "the Quitter" Carmichael takes to New York to tackle a list of commitments to prove herself to her family. In the three months taking on different activities, she learns a lot about herself. The Carmichael family strives for perfection and top marks in their accomplishments, but Quincey feels that she can never measure up.
“Perfection is a myth. We all have cracks, scars, and weaknesses. Just like we all have different strengths. But when you’re a team, when you can lean on one another and help each other grow, that’s when you’ve found someone special, someone worthy of forever.”
This was a great read for the start of a new year! I want to do more things throughout the next year and beyond that I've never done before.
One thing I would have liked would be more development in the romance, but the story didn't need it.
