Long review:
This is a historical romance set in the month of December at The Panic of 1893, where our main characters and their friends find themselves trying to do the best they can to survive and have memorable holidays. 

In this book we meet Bella Darling, good hearted and loved by everyone she meets who loves stories and loves to read, and has been lucky enough to get for her animals (three hens and a cat) and herself a place to live, as long as her hens lay eggs; then we have Bartholomew Baines, a bankrupt banker who's a bit of a Scrooge that just lost everything he had: his friends, his fiance and his property and money, and has to live in a house with other people as unfortunate that also found themselves in a bad situation in life.

I loved it. It was the perfect book to get my out of my reading slump. Also, the perfect reading to end 2024. 
It was sweet, made me immerse myself to the story easily and connect with the characters. I had an amazing time getting to know the characters and their stories, and I enjoyed Bart and Bella's banter and growing romance.
