But I liked this nonetheless. It's short but alot goes on and I felt it was perfect length-wise. I felt so sad for Nathan when he rushes home to ask his wife Emily to forgive him for being an idiot and ready to love her properly only to find that she's left him. The note she wrote him broke my heart! Then he finds out she's dead and then he sees her alive. She tells him they've been given a day to make things right and they try to make the best of their last day. They decide to go away from London to a charity festival nearby and here ensues many things - including orphaned children. This is mostly Nathan's story but it's nice to see every now and then Emily's thoughts. Nathan might have been unfair in the past but I felt he more than made up for it and I was rooting for their HEA the entire way! I felt though that sometimes Emily pushed Nathan too hard and he did it more for her than because he thought of it and I would have prefer to see more things coming from him. Throughout the novel I felt this played out like a holiday lifetime movie but it really was a cute short read. Overall, it was a sweet christmas story.
