“Being in love wasn’t just about how you felt about the other person. It was how you felt about yourself when you were with that person. It was knowing, without a doubt, that you were living each day as the best version of yourself.”

If I take this book at face value for its cute romance and cozy holiday feeling, I really enjoy it. If I think too deeply about the social commentary it attempted to make, I like it less. So I'll leave it at a three-star, feel-good romance that was perfectly timed for the season.
