Fun. Easy read. Read this in a day (the whole series in 3 days). Overall, I liked the series, but it was nothing special.

★★★½
This finale managed to wrap things up perfectly while remaining believable.
The only let-down for me was that I wish the friends were a bit more present. I missed the dynamics between the characters sometimes.
That being said, this really was the perfect ending for this series. It’s a YA romance, so don’t expect greatnesses or your mind to be blown, but it’s definitely a series worth reading. Specially if you’re craving something cosy during the holidays.

This is the 3rd book in the Dash and Lily series. Dash is studying at Oxford university in England and Lily is back in New York, her dog walking business thriving. When lily decides to surprise dash by visiting him at Christmas they realise that neither of them know what they want.
The characters in this series are INFURIATING. Both dash and lily included who both come across as very immature and stubborn. But nothing beats Lily's family. They just seem to get worse and worse in every book!
I won't lie this isn't one of my favourite series, I don't love it. However, it really is a cute festive read which Is goof if you want a quick read at Christmas.

These characters and their story have my whole heart and honestly, at this point, Christmas wouldn't feel right without some Dash and Lily. I'd happy continue to follow their story book after book, year after year.
Whilst I didn't love this addition quite as much as the past two, I think that's purely down to being Brit who's familiar with London, so I definitely missed the escapism of the NYC setting.
However, the story, relationships, characters, mental illness rep, books, dogs and Christmas magic delivered on all fronts. This was a lovely addition to this gorgeously festive couples story and whilst I hope it won't be the last, I can't wait to continue to reread (and rewatch) their story for many Christmases to come.
