Cute, ultimately heartwarming story but nothing fantastic. The twist at the end (

with Eleanor being a ghost the whole time

) definitely got me, but for most of the book I was super annoyed with Dickens. It was interesting to see him basically turn into Scrooge and then back into his Christmas loving self while writing the book. It was a quick read too. Probably not something I’ll read again, but a cute Christmasy read.
