I was really hoping to love this one, but I didn’t. This is a short story about Faye, who normally spends Christmas alone, going to her bosses cabin for Christmas since her boss, Margo, wouldn’t be using it. Margo’s family, the Flynn family, own the farm. Conor runs into Faye as she is trying to make it up to the cabin. He invites her for Christmas to his family’s house, and reluctantly she agrees. After spending the time with Conor Flynn and his family, she realizes what’s been missing in her life. But is she just a fling to him?
I rolled my eyes HARD at this book. At a mere 81 pages, the author tried to write an entire novel. But for me, that meant that I didn’t connect with the characters and I didn’t feel any connection between the characters themselves. This has so much potential if the author took their time and wrote a longer story. I’m not saying it has to be hundreds of pages long, but there needs to be more development.
I will say this, the author did paint a very pretty picture of the town. I could envision it in my mind as I was reading it. I also could envision the Flynn family being so welcoming of Faye. So that part I did like.
If you’re curious, you can find it here.
