2.0

Sadly, the book was a disappointment.

Things I did not like:
- it is not (solely) a Christmas book but a collection of 4 stories, one for each season. So only 1/4 is actually set at Christmas. This is false advertising!
- the busines side of the story is extremely unbelievable. Sure, these "litte shop" stories always end in success, but here our heroine decides on starting a dog walking service and she gets clients without any problems and financial problems are never discussed once. I cannot believe that she can switch from being employed at a nursery to being a dog walker (walking a maximum of 8 dogs by 5 different clients per day) can financially sustain her.

Things I liked:
- the cover (but see above)
- the love story was pretty believeable (the bar being those Christmas romances where they meet and fall in love within 1 week).
