Review: Great characters. Great story. Horrible Timeline.

I really liked the story. Seriously, That said, I had such a hard time believing the timeline/timing of this story. If the timing of the story had been a week or three longer - it would have been so much better for me. As it is, I found the characters endearing and believable, unlike the timeline.I loved the main female character. I thought she was realistic and fun. Her past made her logically (for me, anyway) into the person she presented in the story, always refreshing. I loved her interactions with her children, the main male character's family, and the main male character.**Mini - Spoiler**However - as I've said several times - I just couldn't believe the timeline. I'm not sure about where others live, but there is no way that you could go the week of Christmas to a home store and buy a complete set of Christmas decorations. Where I live, most stores are sold out pretty much by the middle of December. And I just cannot imagine a person so against Christmas - making such a grand gesture (a huge change from just the day before, as it is) in less than a week, especially after years of feeling that way.All in all - I recommend the story, but with reservations.
