Rating: 4.5 – a sweet story about family
Opinion: This was such a sweet story. I had reservations about this book since I’d read another book by this author and it was kinda sad. I went into this book expecting the same thing. There was a moment in the book where I thought ‘oh crap! No,you can’t do this to me!’ But the moment worked itself out beautifully. I read that part during my lunch break and was mad that I couldn’t finish the book then and there. The author did a good job with writing that plot twist. There were a few things that didn’t add up at first but it all makes sense after a certain point in the book. I was glad this book had a happy ending, too. This book definitely needed that sweet ending. This book was a book club recommended book from a book club that I recently joined. I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs a sweet holiday book.
