My second time reading this book! It’s so festive and cozy, perfect for the Christmas season! Oh, to pass letters with a cute boy in NYC during Christmastime! 🥰 It’s the goal! (also, this is a sort of grumpy/sunshine book so, a+++)

I admit it, the push to read this was the desire to watch the Netflix series over the holidays. It was light, romantic, sweet, and heartfelt. And funny. Lily is particularly endearing - just quirky enough to be fabulous but still believable. There’s an offbeat, sometimes introspective feeling to this one, and a great sense of place. I’m all set for the adaptation and even plan to pick up the sequel next year.

I rather enjoyed this book, I listened to the audiobook version and
got through it in one day. Great if you're looking for
something easy and lighthearted to read during the holiday season. Bonus points for
Lily being a Christmas enthusiast
while Dash is more somber, so even if you're not the Christmas novel type you will have a character to relate to and the story isn't
a typical Christmas kitsch fest either
I watched the Netflix show after reading the book but was disappointed. They changed quite
a lot of the story and the characters were less charming. If you’ve seen the show I recommend
picking the book up anyway.
