My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this book. I loved walking along the seaside town and seeing all the Christmas moments. I loved how the plans changed and how tragedy brought together people who needed each other. I really loved the found family - the friendships and the romances. I loved how Toby's excitement for the holidays boosted everyone's holiday spirits. A delightful holiday romance about found family, community, and the gift of kindness.
