lighthearted
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3 stars only because I ate it up in one seating as the story can be read quite easily…
I hope there’s Theo POV so at least we get to know why he reacted that way and the end when he say “you led me on” made me agree with Mae! How can you react that way yet expect something else?
Andrew on the other hand… did he even listen before getting unhappy and getting in a fight with Mae? My goodness…
And somehow it was so easy for Theo to “let her go”? …
I cannot… comprehend…

A “hallmark Christmas movie” with a little bit of spice!

It was a light and nice read but I really couldn’t feel the romance between the MCs.
Giving it a 3.5⭐️

All in all, this was a fun holiday book filled with friendship, family, and tradition themes that I enjoyed. I would have given more stars except I felt that the time-loop situation was sloppy and was not addressed or explained again once everything started to go well for the main character. It’s as if the time-loop never happened. The authors wasted an opportunity here and there were many problems that I couldn’t look past so three stars it is.

Such a cute Christmas Day read!
This is my second Christina Lauren and I was fairly unimpressed with the first one, so going into this I had low expectations but it was cute and Christmasy!
I almost never wish a book was longer, but I could've used some more family/chosen family background.
With a lot of side characters, some of them felt pretty irrelevant. And I wasn't totally a fan of how the third-act conflict was handled by the MMC.
The ground-hog day time loop was cute, and I'm glad it didn't last the whole book. The childhood friends to lovers romance was the standout part of this book in an adorable Christmas setting.

Reminded me why I read.
I haven’t read a book like this in a while.
I was starting to have to force myself to read. While trying to find books I enjoyed. I thought it was just another attention issue.
This book remind me how books are supposed to feel while reading. I looked forward to reading it every day.
And even though it was my first Christmas book, it was so perfect. SO FESTIVE and puts you in a Christmas mood. Glad I made the right choice. I went from forcing myself to read to not wanting to put a book, this book, down.
