I thought the premise of a groundhog day type scenario sounded just up my alley. Unfortunately this is only done about 3 times before it is abandoned. There were way too many characters who really didn't add much to the story, and also I was expecting so much more from the romance. I didn't really particularly like Andrew or Mae, they were just kind of bland characters. I was way more invested in Theo, Andrew's younger brother, and he was barely a focus. It just seemed so...boring and I was not at all invested in the main relationship. It was just bizarre and boring and I kept waiting for something more to happen, like some kind of twist, only for it to never come. I have really enjoyed some of the past Christina Lauren books I read and I was excited for a holiday setting, but this was not for me and wasn't particularly memorable.
