The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss
4.0
I'm going to state right now that this book is predictable as can be from the moment it begins (I called the ending within the first chapter - oops), but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be read. It was very cute.
My primary struggle was with our MC herself. She felt very flighty and naive. There was an inner monologue when she began to realize she wasn't being treated well by someone where she practically admitted she would've never let anyone else do this to her, but because she needed to get her mind off of something else in her life, she might as well let him take advantage because she needed the distraction. That really bothered me. It's understandable to want a distraction, but at what cost?
I hoped maybe there'd be a bit of redemption when it came to that part of the plot, but there wasn't. However, the rest of the story is quite lighthearted and cute. I loved the narration and it was a nice, fluff read for the holiday season.
