Why I Held Your Hand by Augusta Reilly

3.0

Holy steam! This book was definitely surprising. From the cover I thought it would be a cute little winter love story. In some ways, thats exactly what it was, but Laura, the main character was extremely indecisive. Laura owns a craft shop in a North Powell, a small town between two booming ski towns. When North Powell is failing to create the buzz the surrounding towns are creating she hires a marketing team to help bring her hometown back to life. She falls head over heels in love with one of the men in the marketing company, David. He seems perfect in every way but as she works more closely with Spence on the Charles Dickens festival she develops feelings for him as well. She's not sure exactly how to handle these new feelings. It was a cute book but there were some things that Laura did that I found really unbecoming of her character. I think we missed out on a little character development of David as well. Not my least favorite, but not my favorite romance book.
