My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The only thing that disappointed me about this story was that it was too short. The idea behind it was very nice, and there are no issues with this--it is completely clean. It is not a romance, but it is a feel-good Christmas story. It is perfect for those who love happy endings, although I must admit it is not believable. But I don't think that is the attention.
For a quick family read, this would be excellent. I just wish it had been developed more.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
