I read this back in 2018, and remember loving it. Rereading it 5 years later, I still enjoyed the premise and how the writing was broken up over the years/with Laurie's new years resolutions. I found it much harder to root for the jack-laurie connection on this read, until the very very end, I think because Jack's character was really unlikeable for such a large chunk of the story. Overall, I enjoyed kicking off my 2024 reading year with a reread of a charming, Christmas London tale
