I received a free copy for review from Voracious Readers Only.
This book was just like a Hallmark Christmas movie, and I love Christmas Hallmark!
It was a very easy read, lighthearted and happy. Ella is a fun character who is full of life and joy and takes fun chances, and Wyatt is a character who need opening up a bit, and has firm development throughout the story.
I didn't understand the conflict between Wyatt and his family. That felt forced as a plot point. Because there was no resolution between him and his family, it didn't make sense to include it, other that he needed a reason to not be excited about Christmas. However, he wasn't even against Christmas, just didn't care until Ella, so that felt like a weak point.
The conflict with Marissa was weird. she was a weak villain who tried to destroy things but didn't try very hard, so I didn't feel much anger towards her. Again, I understand the need for her as a plot point, but I found her to be lacking as a villain.
I love the happy ending, and I loved Marney as a mother figure and friend. I definitely want to shop at The Book Nook. I wish we had gotten more from Ella's mother. She wasn't much of a mother figure until the end when she jumps in and tells Ella how to be happy. To make that more believable, we needed more of her at the beginning.
All in all, this was a very fun Christmas read. If you like Hallmark movies, you'll love this light, happy, festive read.
