I love the Bright Falls series so I was excited to get stuck into this. Unfortunately, it fell a bit flat. It is a cute festive read with the perfect cutesy christmassy small town setting. The scene setting was beautifully done.

My main issue with the book was Charlotte. I hated her and it made rooting for the couple difficult. She was self absorbed and a terrible friend. Sloane deserved so much better. All of that would be fine if she learnt from her mistakes but she didn't show any growth. Even at the end when she's apologising to Sloane she still doesn't ask how she's doing and makes it about her. I was actually more interested in the side characters. They seemed like a lot of fun. I loved Bright though and she showed so much growth, she deserved better.
