Interesting from page the first to the last page. It took me a while to finished listening to it but it was only because I was in an audiobook reading slump.. because I every time I would go pick it up I would think “I’m still enjoying this book so much”. And that is why I still finished it despite of the slump. It’s a beautiful story!

5/5 freaking stars. I read this book in 24 hours in two sittings. Definitely a new favorite for me and possibly a new Christmas tradition. This one is going to stick with me for a while. I freaking loved it.

I really enjoyed this! I actually teared up at the end which surprised me. I really liked Holly as a main character with her dry/sarcasm humor. I liked the friendships she formed and her found family. The romance was cute but honestly not a main part which I didn’t mind. I thought this was an interesting retelling because she didn’t get saved, and it goes from there. I did see the ending coming, but I still enjoyed it and like I said I cried. I would recommend this to read during Christmas time.
Reread still really enjoyed it but this year sucks a lot, so I’m not really in the Christmas spirit.
