1.0
Not a lighthearted Christmas Romance. That isn’t why I gave it 1 star though. The writing is choppy, the pacing is weird, and I just couldn’t get fully invested in the characters. I kept thinking it would be a sad but overall inspiring story like “It’s a Wonderful Life” but I truly disliked the never ending misfortunes Kate’s character endured and how quickly and almost seamlessly they were resolved after she is assaulted and Daniel “saves” her from other issues in her life.
I was also put off by some characters ableism, racism, and homophobia. It was unnecessary, and seemed like a forced attempt at diversifying that didn’t work in the writer’s favor.
