Not Just For Christmas by Alex Brown
2.0
2,5* not horrible, but definitely not a favourite by far.
I wouldn't have bought it, if I had taken a closer look at the author. I already read a other book by Alex Brown, which also was just too shallow and sickly sweet for my taste, but didn't realise it was the same author.
Way too sweet, over the top cute and "happy". I was a bit weirded out by the choice of love interest and the speed of things as well.
Absolutely predictable in ways, and just unrealistic in how perfectly everything is going. People always happen to be there at the ideal time, and just coincidentally want to throw their money or help at any problem. The little bit of drama that this book has its incredibly construed, and just had me sigh in exasperated
I wonder if the author ever had a dog, or knows anyone who is physically disabled. Neither felt even remotely well handled.
My E-Reader showed it at 177 pages, more than 50 of those were advertised and sample chapters of other books...
So all in all a quick and cute read, but nothing that really resonated with me sadly.
