review 1: I wanted to like this novella so much. I liked the idea of a character finding love while at a spa. I picked up my Kindle and curled up with a blanket on the futon. I was ready for a cozy romance. This was not the cozy romance that I was hoping for. First, Holly is mean. The book blurb describes her as a Bridget Jones, but I never see the Jones' sparkle. Granted, Holly never says the mean things, she just thinks them. I just wish I didn't have to read her thoughts. Second, the romance is a bit sudden. Okay, from the get-go we know who the guy is going to be, but up until the last moment, I didn't really see the two getting together. I could have just seen the two characters being friends; there was no romantic spark. Third, Holly didn't really grow or learn anything. I wou... moreld have been fine with this, because this is a novella; however, Holly continues to be a mean until the end. It would have been nice, if she was less mean because she fell in love (yep, I really just wrote that!). If you are looking for a fun and cute holiday novella, look some place else. :(
review 2: Okay, I was bummed by this book. It doesn't happened often, but this one it did. I knew it was a novella, I didn't realize it would be so depressing. Also it ended with NO closure, does she go with James? There was a part in the book where she was talking about Clive but it was printed James, which was an obvious over look. I think this could have been good, but there was nothing making me even like the main character or even care what happened for the most part. She was funny, but also some of her comments were just mean. I was looking for a fun holiday short novella, and this was not it. less
