Sappy, simple, and a total waste of both hours it took to read. But I repeated my mantra...I love my book clubbies, I love my book clubbies... and plowed through it. Now onto something with multi-syllabic words.

I really wanted a true feels-like-Christmas read. When I first started this book, the premise alone was enough to make me think I would absolutely hate it. One of the worst things I can imagine is the kind of betrayal Joy has just experienced at the start of the story. Our plot quickly took a turn from bad to barely believable because what are the odds? but then tipped drastically in the middle in a way no one could predict. Strangely by the end I felt uplifted and surprised by how much I enjoye

Heartwarming, simple read that is a bit predictable. Nice holiday story.
