Ngl it was a solid three for me, I was expecting to feel more wowed by my first Christmas book of the year but it just felt a little flat.

Also putting a doggy at risk (even if fictional) isn't okay and I did not agree with how lightly it was all glossed over. The main character Emma didn't actually seem to have any redeeming qualities and the amount of emergencies that happen in this village in such space of time is almost comical!
