I really loved "Summer at the Comfort Food Café", so I have been really excited to read the christmas book. Unfortunately I couldn't live up to my expectations. One big problem were the characters. I just couldn't connect with Becca and neither Sam. There were some sweet moments but overall the love story felt rushed and forced. I couldn't feel any natural chemistry between them and I missed the romance. Another problem was that it lacked in the festive spirit. Becca being rather a grinch didn't help much here. I really wished it would have been more christmassy. Overall the story is kind of cute but it couldn't really touch me and there were several things missing for me.
