Review:
This was a lovely book. Cora and Simon are a delightful couple once they become a couple - because it takes awhile, it is interesting that they "seem" an unlikely match in the first place. To me, they are perfectly suited from the beginning.
I think it's important to note that this is a fantasy book. It is not meant to be a realistic story. It's got a bit of the old Hollywood Christmas magic element--the fun, whimsical kind--with a Christian twist, if you will.
I found this book to be a warm and fuzzy read leading up the Christmas season.
Thanks to Waterbrook/Multnomah Press for a review copy of this novel for the Blogging for Books program.
