I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review. I appreciate the opportunity.

I'm wavering at a 2.5/3 for this story. I love Christmas stories. I love one nights together, running around the city and falling in love stories. I love New York, especially at the holidays.

But this one didn't....quite hit the mark. I mean, it's Christmas in New York, and not one of the major Christmas trees are seen on this quest through the city? Rockefeller Center, South Seaport, none of the museums, Lincoln Square, none of the Christmas festivals are discussed (and there is one in every major park so it's not like they're avoidable.) It's almost told like it's from the perspective of someone who doesn't actually live in or hasn't experienced Christmas time in New York and literally all of it's magic.

Outside of that, I couldn't get past the constant "reading my look" or "having a conversation just through looks..." and then at one point Charolette even goes "we've only known each other a few hours how does he expect me to understand his look!?" right before he kissed her. We'll you have been all night....

Final issuance: Charlotte tells her ex she loves him at Lincoln Center. Later, she talks about doing it at Rockefeller Center. Just an edit that didn't get caught. Like all the missed italicized television show names.

As for the book itself, it's cute. It's exactly what it says it is — just like a Hallmark movie classic. Why Charlotte was in the city is a bit weird, but that's okay, and as someone who has to go to JFK frequently, straying too far from the airport is odd.

Also, I can't tell what the relationship between Anthony and his brother is supposed to be — not enough there to completely understand honestly.
