"This story was so wholesome and sweet and had a little magical feeling to it, and the found family trope was so warm and unforgettable. All the characters are so likable; I wish we had more in-depth looks into each of them than we got. It felt a little surface level, for our main character we did get a deeper look into her, and that was great because We get to hear about grief. How that effects her but how it significantly affects her at Christmas time, and that hit me personally. I love how it was explored overall. The characters are all so likable, which was one of my favorite parts of this book, as well as The atmosphere. This had all the festive vibes; I could imagine it all while reading, putting me in the Christmas mood. There is a bit of romance, but it felt way too rushed and was so instant love, so I wasn't a big fan of the romance, I and it took up a good chunk of the book. I wish that there was way more of everything else than the romance. The ending wrapped up way too quickly it felt but honestly it didn't ruin it all that much it was over all a feel-good holiday read"
