The first book I've attempted by this author and it will likely be the last. I read the first couple of chapters and then sampled a few sections in the second half of the book. Fun premise and form but disappointingly juvenile in writing quality and tone. It made me quit holiday romance and go back to holiday murder mystery. 😂
