This book's tropes and blurb are what drew me in, I really wanted to love this one, but unfortunately, I just couldn't get into it. I never connected with the characters so it didn't hold my interest. I kept putting it down and it felt like it was being dragged along with nothing really happening for 3/4 of the book. It also wasn't memorable, I just finished and there isn't any part that stands out to me or that I know I'll remember for a while. A lot of the times the characters felt very childish and unlikeable.
I'll give Lauren's books another chance because I've heard good things about them but this wasn't a good one for me. Also, it didn't have much Christmas or Holiday vibes like I was expecting from a holiday novella.
