This book was not my usual type of read, it mostly felt like I was reading a Hallmark movie. I like the part set in the past more than I liked "real time" parts. By the time it got to the overly saccharine cliche "holiday get together" at the end I was mostly skimming. I really need to do myself a favor and stop reading romance novels-- but if it is your jam then I imagine one would like this just fine.
