This book was so magical! This is the second Jenny Bayliss book I've read and it was exactly what I was expecting it to be. I loved every single moment of it, from start to finish. 

There was barely any drama unlike other Christmas-y books out there. Of course there was a bit of drama, but none that didn't get resolved quickly and wasn't the main part of the book. All the relationships in this book were written well, where the partners weren't overbearing or annoying at all. Each had their problems of course, but much like the drama it was resolved quickly.

There is some sort of strange magic that takes place when a book is set during Christmas in a small town. Something about a small community coming together to get the town ready for the holiday season is just so comforting that I will never pass up a book like it. The theme of sisterhood and family was also very strong and seeing the three estranged sisters heal their grievance's while also bringing the town together for a celebration was fabulous. I can't wait to reread this book next year and relive the magic that this book contains.
