The Christmas Train by David Baldacci

2.5

emotional lighthearted medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

---

Really loved the story over all but could have done without the rampant fatfobia exhibited by the author. Granted this is likely a sign of the times, but using bigger women as a joke, or ensuring there is never a question any time the character appears that you know they are overweight.
