I think this was the prefect holiday read. I thought it was told in a really fun way duel POV and past and present. I loved the friends to more to strangers to more. I thought it was a really fun winter read. I also loved the chronic ilness rep and loved how it dived in the compicated experience that can be fr all in the family. I felt like this book had so much time focusing on the romance and it sort of shoe horned in the family elements at the end and i wish it had more of a balance but i enjoyed the this read and would read more by this author.
