I would've given a 5 star review but this book should have tw (death of loved ones & cancer) and shouldn't be advertised as a Christmas romance. I loved the way it was written, made me love the characters, I finished the book in like 3 days and I knew thanks to some reviews that it was going to make me cry but I definitely didn't expect to be sobbing the way I did. Not sure if I would recommend this book even though I liked it.

I thought this was a Christmas rom-com. Spoiler alert - it is not. There is romance, but there is also a lot of sadness. Not a book I'd re-read at Christmastime, that's for sure. I enjoyed it and think I would like it more if I wasn't expecting a Christmas story. Well written but oh so sad.

This was not the cheeky romance I was expecting. It had me up all night and crying on public transit. Rushed ending tho.

Not a light, holiday read but also not heavy on the romance. As Max and Josie bump into each other every few months due to mutual friends, they never seem to be single at the same time, but they also weren't very good at communicating. I wish their relationship had been developed more, but even so, the ending was heartbreaking.
