It’s absolutely adorable x-mas novel. It was refreshing that the MCs weren’t teens and young adults and had real life experiences. It made them 100% relatable.
Whit & Eli are soulmates. I kind of wish they would have gotten to explore having children. Not all cancer survivors have infertility. Eli would be an amazing dad. 🥹

Also, love that Shaun made a cameo 😭😭 the whole time I was like NO WAY IS THAT SHAUN?! 😮‍💨
If you love second chance romances read this. You won’t regret it.

A really cute cheesy and romantic second chance lovestory, good for everyone just wanting to relax over the holidays. I don't like the gender-stereotypes and light (at least in comparison to other books) toxic behavior, so be aware of that. Also I really would've loved more diversity in the cast. However it still made me smile and it's possible to oversee since I didn't look for a life changing masterpiece. I did enjoy it after all and though it will never be the one book I love the most I had a good time reading it, I think it's important to think about what you expect from it and then decide if you want to read it.

This wasn’t a sappy holiday romance but it was a great holiday romance. If you like second chance romance, this was perfect. It isn’t my favorite genre, because I spent most of the book thinking that Eli didn’t deserve Whitney until I was proven wrong.

Overall a good Christmas book, that unfortunately left me feeling a little underwhelmed.
Except for a few (especially Serena), I absolutely loved the characters and their dynamics, and loved discovering Whitney and Eli's story.
My main issue with this book was the pace, which sometimes felt off.
I still enjoyed this book a lot, and I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a steamy second-chance romance set during Christmas time.
