I must be feeling in a very generous mood (it must be the Christmas spirit) but this was really sweet & cute. The audiobook was fun, & even though I didn't love the narrator's accent for Shelby, she did a really great job! & the accent wasn't a huge turn-off, just made me laugh a bit. The ending, specifically the concluding sentence, made me cackle because
why are you saying this is the best Christmas ever when 3 people have died,  somebody attempted to murder you 2x, your close friend was framed for murder (& also taken advantage of & lowkey emotionally abused by her employer), & also your 2 closest friends then accused each other of murder?! If that has thus far been your favorite Christmas ever, I feel like you should probably reevaluate what the holiday season is all about
anyways I'm ending this review before I change my mind sleigh

PS this is extremely unrelated but also semi-related bc I love cozy murder mysteries but the most unrealistic part of every single one is that the cops are great & are genuinely there to help. #fuckthepolice #stoptheprisonindustrialcomplex
