I couldn't finish it

Revisado: 05-13-24

Way too cheesy and unrealistic. I can count on one hand the number of times I haven't been able to finish a book but I couldn't do it with this one. Hopefully you'll like it better. I do think some of it is personal preference.

Couldn't make it past chapter 5.

Revisado: 03-21-23

I have read two other books by this author and enjoyed them. Not this one though. The main character is incredibly inconsistent and petulant. One minute she's so paralyzed by social anxiety and shyness that she hesitates entering a room of strangers. The next moment she's saying really prideful, insulting things to a man she just met. One minute she holds her tongue out of respect for father and the next minute she's back to telling off the main male character. Maybe if her comments were more disguised as playful (like Lizzy dealt with Darcy in Pride & Prejudice) and not unfiltered condemnation, Abigail might have been more likeable. She just seems like a hot tempered girl with zero control over her emotions. it comes across as very immature and even unrealistic for a lady of her standing in that time. it's a pass from me.

Not just a another cheesy Christmas romance

Revisado: 01-07-23

I really enjoyed this book. At times the prose was quite beautiful. Even though it checked all the boxes (Christmas time, charming and small hometown, lost childhood sweetheart etc) it did it in its own unique way that actually made the journey much more enjoyable. I was actually charmed by the small town instead of just tolerating it as a cheesy stereotype. I loved the narration as well.

Over all I enjoyed it

Revisado: 03-09-22

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book but I felt like the grief Maile should've been experiencing for her late fiance was over so quickly and way less of a conflict than it would have realistically been.

Other than that I really liked this book.

I didn't love the main characters

Revisado: 09-16-21

I felt like Dick and Fanny were both unlikable characters. Fanny was silly and shallow and in the beginning I felt like Dick did some disrespectful things. For example, in one scene he accidentally placed his hand on Fanny's at a dinner party when they barely knew each other and then left it there, which put Fanny in a very awkward situation with the public setting. It felt like he was using the setting to take advantage of her. Other than than my bleh feelings about these two, the book was entertaining enough.
