This was the perfect book to read in the run up to Christmas. It was so suited to being curled up on the sofa with fairy lights on and a hot chocolate. I highly recommend this if you're looking for something to help you feel festive this time of year.

Although this was very heavy on the instalove (I know, that's the idea of a fluffy holiday romance), it was also completely adorable and I really loved both Sierra and Caleb. I loved that Sierra's family owned a Christmas tree lot and I loved what Caleb did with all the trees he bought. I would have liked to learn more about Caleb's secret as I thought that what he had done was way too significant to be brushed over so quickly by Sierra, but then this is supposed to be a romantic holiday read, so I understand why it wasn't explored further. The writing style was simple and the short chapters made for a super quick read. The characters were all well thought out and likeable and I enjoyed the parts showing the relationship between Sierra and her parents.

What I can say is that this book left me feeling a little emotional, very sentimental and feeling particularly festive. I think this is a book I would only enjoy at Christmas time but one that I know I will return to again next year.
