I was looking forward to diving into this holiday novella after loving a couple of the others from the Home for the Holidays collection, but unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. I don't know if my expectations were too high, or I missed something crucial by not having read the previous books in the series but the story felt rushed, the characters were flat, making it difficult to connect with their experiences, and the writing style didn't captivate me.

While I appreciate the effort put into this holiday novella, it simply wasn't the right fit for me.
