Maybe it's be because it's very hard for me to stay focused on books but I found it boring

This was a very light and lovely read but I expected to love it as much as I have loved her other books in the past.

There are reasons to be annoyed and irritated by Our Heroine's decisions, but I found it easy to forgive her. This is a lovely story of things working out precisely as they should. So, yes, it's for those of us who know when to turn our backs on reality and dream a little.

What a beautiful, lovely, & engaging story! I did not want to put this down, and though it looked like a train wreck waiting to happen at times (the secrets, the lies, the half-truths could have made this a complete mess if not a despicable plot & heroine/protagonist), but it all happened organically in the tale, and I was nodding along to the reasoning, even if it felt flawed at times, because it was so very human, too.
This is one book that swept me in and took me along with its tides, in the midst of a magical winter in New York, in the arms and bosom of a lovely family everyone would kill to have, with people with such hearts of gold, yet also people who are intensely flawed and real, too.
Iris as the heroine had my heart wrenching with hers many a time; Gio as the hero had me falling helplessly in love with him; the Belottis were the dream family I wish could've been mine in any lifetime; Bobby & Robin the older siblings in your corner 200% of the time. The only ones that irked me were Vivien & Santo, for the things they've done and then keep on doing, especially to Iris.
All in all, the ending felt a little rushed - I would've preferred it to happen with a slower pace and with a bit 'more' than just the action taking place... But all in all, the entire ride that was this book was just perfect. Lovely, lovely story. Gonna be on the lookout for more Josie Silver now, for sure!
