review 1: I am disappointed that the short stories are not holiday stories. The handful that do mention the fall/winter holidays only do so tangentially. Those in charge of packaging/marketing pulled a fast one.The stories are actually about loss, death, and aging. If you go into the stories not expecting holiday stories, you'll probably enjoy them a great deal because they are well written.The narrator of the audio version is excellent.
review 2: I gave this compilation of short stories a two-star rating because Bailey White is very good at what she does. I would love to be a gifted writer such as she, but I would choose to write about things that are uplifting, not downright depressing. I had to watch a Hallmark movie to offset the gloomy feeling I had after I turne... mored the final page. If you believe even *remotely* that happy endings are possible, don't read this book. less
