I really had high hopes for this one, mainly because it had Christmas and New York in the title. The setting mostly took place at The Plaza which was phenomenal. I've been to New York at Christmas time and it really is magic so adding The Plaza to that just brought it up a notch.
An everyday girl moves into The Plaza to ghost write for someone and ends up meeting a special someone but identities get mixed up and the misadventures begin.
In the first part of the book, I was swept away and it was very atmospheric. The trouble, for me, started when a lie was told. This lie did set up a good storyline but it took way too to long to get to the truth and just made the book too long.
I thought the narration was good. She definitely caught the wonderment of NYC at Christmas in the characters dialogue.
