A review by mothmans_mum
The Christmas Memory by Barbara Winkes

fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

This was sweet, kind of like a sapphic reimagining of While You Were Sleeping (please note that I haven’t seen While You Were Sleeping  since it first came out several decades ago, so like Clare, my memory may be inaccurate).

As several other reviews have pointed out, the resolution does feel a little rushed. I feel like it would have been more satisfying if the author had gone the rout of good communication followed by some soul searching and the characters working things out together, rather than a third act breakup and then a reunion.
