This book is a sci-fi domestic thriller that takes place over the Christmas holiday. The characters are fun and the mystery keeps you guessing, but a few parts dragged a bit and the ultimate "reveal" was underwhelming. No one's doing "good for her" in the indie space like Faith Gardner, though, and overall I had fun.
