Emily Stone always knocks if out of the park with a heartfelt Christmas novel. I do love that Christmas is a brief moment with some significant to the MC. It allows us to get more of the characters throughout time, to really develop relationships and whatever drama there might be. 

I did love how Lexie handled her issues throughout the year. It was clear that Stone does a great job writing adult characters. While Lexie ran away a lot from her past she knew where her faults were. She knew what worked and what didn’t for her life style and acknowledged at times that she might have to change. 

I loved her respect and relationship with her mom and friend. It felt real, not wanting to hurt her mom by asking about her dad. And I loved the different trips we got to go on with Lexie as she worked for her dad’s company. 

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for the my review.
