The first half of this book is the perfect cozy, curl up with a blanket read. The second half of this book is... well, it's still pretty cozy, but it has more tension and it had a well-written third-act conflict. Both halves are perfect. It's low-stakes but you still won't be able to put it down. The characters are sweet and lovable but they still have flaws. The build up and progression of their relationship is delightful to read, and that third-act conflict feels so natural with the rest of the story. It's a wonderfully cozy read, and although I read it in December, it's going to be a great mid-February release. (And, since I've somehow gone my whole life never seeing Sleepless in Seattle, which I will certainly fix soon, I can attest that this book holds up without having seen that movie!) 

Thanks to Berkley and NetGalley for the e-ARC! My opinions are entirely my own.
