A Magical New York Christmas: A Novel by Anita Hughes

1.0

This book was absolutely horrible from start to finish. I am not a writer by any means, but I do read quite often and the characters felt so flat. The story was mostly about Grayson and Veronica rather than Sabrina and Ian. Additionally, Spencer is the most unrealistic straight male I’ve ever heard of. “Sounds like a Christmas miracle” WHAT GUY SAYS THAT?!?! And then Ian with the line, “I’ve always felt lucky but I’ve never felt luckier than I do tonight.” Hallmark movies even have more depth than this novel. Additionally, the whole plot felt rushed between Ian and Sabrina AND I didn’t really feel like there was a lot of chemistry. It went straight from “we like each other” to him awkwardly kissing her after the movies. The only reason I finished this book is because I was 200 pages in and I felt obliged. My first experience with this author and I will not be reading any more books by them.
