The review --
The story's setting
returned me to my childhood and brought back many childhood memories. We were
too poor for presents; so dad and mom would fix us big treat bags of fruit,
nuts, and candy for Christmas. It was the best day of the year for us.
The characters were
well developed and very likable. It reminds the reader that love can be found
in the darndest places if we look for them.
The theme of the 12
Days of Christmas was undeniable in this modern take on a classic. It was fast
paced and well edited, which made for an enjoyable read.
I won't give the
ending away, but it has a wonderful/romantic ending. Enjoy this wonderfully
written book! Dreams can come true!
