I enjoyed this Christmas story told from the viewpoint of multiple people who ended up being connected in some way. At first, it was a little confusing trying to keep track of who was who, but after a few chapters I easily got it. The ending was cute and everyone got their "happily ever after."
A couple things I didn't like as well - every character in this book could benefit from therapy. I'm not saying there's something wrong with needing therapy... but these characters acted like a relationship was going to "fix" all their problems and i was like oh no sir, what you need is a therapist, not a girlfriend.
This was also one of those stories where characters kept showing up and pushing for relationships form people who had already said no for various reasons. I know the author was trying to show that these characters weren't giving up on their true love, but to me it just showed that these characters didn't listen or understand consent.
Overall, a cute and light Christmas story, but I do wish the characters had been a bit more likeable.
