i read this in one sitting at a coffeeshop but the story did not click for me. the boss character was an absolute mess and the way he invited himself to laurel's family christmas, thus causing the need for her to fake a family, life on a farm, and essentially pretend her sisters' entire life was hers? no thanks. didn't really work as a plot device for me, and he was just so clueless and mopey the whole time! nothing about this one was believable or even cute or fun to go along with, and the "love story" had absolutely no chemistry or spark to it. i really didn't find much about this one likable at all, sadly! not a win for me.
