A story about grief and loss and how it affects us for years to come. How life circumstances can change everything. How we find ourselves. The love found and love lost. About the things we never say but should.
And this book?? All of it was wrapped into the festive Christmas scene.
It had sweet moments. It had sad moments. It had frustrating moments. It was just the sweet thing I needed.
This book reminded me bit of the vibes of One Day by David Nichols.
This definitely wasn’t everything I was expecting but it was a sweet and great holiday read all the same!

Literally devastating though. I am sick with sadness and rage.
To be fair to the author, I should not have gone in blind on this one. I was looking for a winter time read cause they usually help me see winter a little more positively rather than see it as pure seasonal depression, but this was the absolute wrong choice for that type of read. 😂
However, I will hand it to her that she is a good writer. Creative story line and good characters. Seems the story was very well thought out and I really admire that. BUT, the ending ruined the entire book for me. The author chose violence against her readers, and I can’t forgive it. 😂😂😂
If you’re easily devastated, I strongly recommend looking up the trigger warnings on this one.
