It was ok. To be honest I found it boring and slow slow moving. I really don’t have too much to say about it.

“The Twelve Months of Christmas" by Sheila Roberts is a cheesy, bittersweet and occasionally sad Christian romance/women's fiction novel. While I expected a lighthearted read, the story took a more emotional turn. The characters are relatable and their determination to keep Christmas cheer alive all year round added a touch of cheesy charm. Overall, it's a good book with unexpected depths.

This book was so boring. I ended up DNFing at 25%. There were too many characters, making it difficult to keep track of all of them, and they were all pretty annoying and uninteresting. There wasn’t a single thing about this book that could hold my attention to keep me going.

This is one of my favorite Christmas books I've ever read! 

The characters went through every day problems and each one of them had something relatable about them. The romances were cute and believable. There were also some really good life lessons and words of wisdom scattered throughout. 

"There will always be something sneaking up on you and trying to steal your joy. You can't let it, and the only way to combat it is to keep bringing in good things and focusing on your blessings."

Just the audiobook to start while putting away the Christmas decorations. A perfect feel good read for January.
