4.0

Beth O'Leary brings her trademark witty banter to a cozy winter romance set in an aging hotel. When the two front desk staff get involved in a challenge to return lost rings to their rightful owners, they find more than they were expecting -- their own true love story. There are big Christmas movie vibes here, including the dramatic conclusion of the romance arc. This is a genuinely good time.

Cute. Felt a little too long since I was reading it and it was going very slowly given how occupied I was with other things.

Ugh Izzy is so annoying and basically the whole book would kinda have been better off without her BUT Lucas and the minor characters really make up for her being just... dumb?

However generally a cute read with the other characters having enough emotional depth to bump this up to 4 stars. Light and fluffy and very readable.
