I didn't think I would like this book, the main character seemed a bit mousey and bookish but I really enjoyed it. The suspense of Aiden's life was great and I enjoyed the way the book was written. Of course the addition of a husky made me enjoy it even more.

I really enjoyed this book, a cute modern fairytale packed with adventure and an adorable pup.

slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

Such a Sweet Book, makes you romanticise everything for at least the next 24h and who doesn’t need that from time to time!

a very light read, but I couldn't resist the bookstore, new york city, reading themes and I did enjoy it. Chose the cover with the typewriter, but would also have bought the cover with the paper sculpture if I had seen it. Was concerned/annoyed at first that this just a re-telling of the Sandra Bullock movie (which ending I think I preferred) - dark curly-haired scatty heroine, dark smooth handsome wealthy "victim" in hospital and a lunky downstairs admirer, but fortunately the story took a different turn. Great plot twists.

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Firstly thank you to Simon & Schuster for approving me on Netgalley for this book. Unfortunately my TBR pile has been overflowing (so much so my kindle got full! but that is another matter) so it has taken me until now to read it. With it being nearly Christmas (I'm writing this in October hahah) I decided to make this my first festive read.
I have to say that this is a very festive read. It is set around a week before Christmas in New York. Those that know me know that I would absolutely LOVE to visit NY in December, one day I will but for now I am living vicariously through Christmas books set there (I'd love some more recommendations if anyone has any). It is the perfect Christmas scene. The snow, the decorations, the songs, Macy's everything. I really love Christmas.
Darcy is a sweet, quiet, bookish girl. She has grown up with a huge love of books and spends her days working at Chaucers, a NY bookshop. This place sounds idyllic. Shelves stacked high with books upon books. Heaven. So Darcy is on her way to work one morning, she is rushing because she overslept and is late when she smacks, literally, into Aiden Harris, knocking him unconscious.
When Aiden wakes up he doesn't remember anything, not just about the accident but about his entire life. So Darcy feeling guilty tries to help him remember. Darcy goes above and beyond to help Aiden but nothing she does seems to help. I enjoyed that some chapters were written from Aiden's POV. It added to the suspense and mystery of his life.
I also loved Bailey the husky dog. I miss my parents dogs immensely and if I didn't work would most definitely have at least one.
I really enjoyed this book and it will definitely not be the last book by Melissa that I read. I have all her others on my TBR pile and will be bumping them up. If you love a festive romantic read then pick this up now.

Bit slow and the twists ended up being disappointing to me :-( I did love the bookish references though
