funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

has Hallmark tapped into the novella market yet?? because that's exactly what this is—a Hallmark movie in 80 pages—and there's definitely potential imo. 80 pages is just enough to do some basic characterization, spread holiday cheer, and "solve" the "conflict" before reaching the happy ending... so the ideal holiday read. seriously, the lack of third act conflict is such a relief. you're not reading this for substance, you're reading it to feel good and for me it delivered.
