Thank you to Melanie Jacobson for a free copy of this book!
Paige is trying to make her life the one she has dreamed of for her and her daughter. And when she purchases a cottage that is a bit of a fixer-upper, she doesn't expect that on top of fixing her house, she will need to fix her neighbor's grumpy attitude as well.
I loved all the Christmas exuberance in this one. Paige, her daughter Evie, and the hottie Henry are all great characters, but the side characters just add that much more delight to the story. I like that the book also dealt with pain, grief, and how to handle yourself in the aftermath of both.
