Overall star rating

About the book:
How could everything that seemed so right suddenly have gone so wrong for Mia? Snow is on the ground and Christmas lights twinkle in the German Christmas market. The warm, spiced wine is just right, but there's still one key ingredient missing from her romantic dream. Will Mia's Christmas turn out to be sugar and spice and all things nice - or a deflated soufflé of loneliness and regret?

The review --
I tried to get into
this book, but I never made it. The book is a very disjointed read and has way
too many flashbacks. Flashbacks are a touchy thing to do in video, and should
be used sparingly in a book. Also, there's too much drinking in the book. The
main character seems to spend most of the book remembering and drinking. All
the characters seem to spend way to much of the book getting drunk.
It reads like an
unfinished novel, and probably caters to those who have read the rest of the
books in the series. If you haven't read the rest of the series, don't get this
book then; as it's not a very good book at all if you know nothing about the
rest of the series. It's not really a stand alone novel, and not too
Christmassy either.
