I was born and raised in N.W. Ohio, but I have lived in Fl. now for the past 30 yrs.. So now here I am... sitting here in Fl. where it's a balmy 85 degrees, trying to get myself into the holiday season and failing miserably, until I read this story. I could actually picture all these scenes in my head. I could feel the cold air, and picture the frozen pond with the ice skaters galore having a great time. I could almost smell the aroma of the freshly cut trees, the cooking baking in the ovens, and taking in the sites of all the beautiful lit decorations around me. It made me feel as if I was actually there experiencing the joys of the holidays, just as I did when I lived back in Ohio.I could relate so much to Andi, since my whole family still lives back in Ohio, and we haven't been able to spend the holiday season together for decades now. I didn't much care for Blaine and his selfish ways, but I loved Colin right from the start. And what a wonderful relationship Andi has in her friend Eva.The thing is..... I wish we could have had a short epilogue at the end, to tie up a few loose ends.I would highly recommend this book to everyone, especially if you're having trouble trying to get yourself into the holiday spirit.
