It’s a nice, feel-good love story around christmas time, but maybe a little bit dragged. ”Not only hot with a low, mellow voice, but also German. The accent wasn’t thick, but it was definitely there. And it was definitely sexy.“ I really wanted to love this book, because I love the author and I loved that there’s a german main character. I was really curious how accurate it would be and I have to say - well done! The things told about german christmas traditions were quite right. The author did some good research, even though I hated the german pet name “Schnucki”, I don’t think it’s a common pet name for mid thirty women. This was also something I really loved about the book - the age of the MCs. Both women were in their thirties and this made me so happy! This is an age that’s often underrepresented. ”It made me fall just a little bit in love with her. Early, shallow love, just a fraction past attraction.“ Sadly I have to say, there isn’t much happening in the story, it’s all about the “Adventszeit”, they fall in love but it takes ages for them to act on it and that kinda annoyed me. There was no third act break up or something like this, it was just a very nice love story without much excitement. Thanks to NetGalley & Bella Books for this ARC!
