I've never read a book by this author but the title intrigued me so I had to give it a go.
There are some hard topics covered, and with the way it started I was wondering what I was getting myself into, but then Beth met the author who technically saved her life and the story went up from there. That's not to say Lee and Beth didn't face any challenges while getting to know each other, and it definitely wasn't all sunshine and roses, but I did like their story.
It also wasn't very Christmas-y, but since it says so in the beginning I wasn't expecting it to be.
I recommend the audiobook, the narrator was perfectly chosen and brought the characters to life. She also did a good enough job to make me want to check out Evans's other books.
