“He came from another time to love me, and I’ve been waiting to love him in return. That’s what the hollow ache in my chest has been about. We just had to find each other.”

♾️⭐️ I knew I was going to love this book but oh my goshhhhhh my heart is so full. It was everything. Whimsical. Magical. Sweet. Sad. Raw. It had all the Christmas vibes without being overkill. Nolan and Harriet were everything you want in a romance. Their love was so visceral, and so real. This book is going to be a yearly reread for me.

This romance novel was absolutely splendid in all the right ways. Perfect amount of spice, perfect amount of drama and a brilliant cliff hanger at the end! I loved the spiritualism in the book and the whimsical afterlife humor.

This was the first book I've read of this genre, and it may well be the last!

I was hoping for it to feel at least a little less flat as I continued reading, but that didn't improve over time. Much of it felt very cringe IMO (I know many others disagree, and it may just be because I'm not used to the genre).

I did find some of the messaging concerning, e.g. Harriett's lack of self-worth, lack of confidence, always desperately trying to be what others needed her to be was depicted as a positive thing in terms of "getting the guy" initially, and Nolan's idea that women's clothing is designed specifically for the impact on men and that there's some "evil" connotations to it. I was hoping this would be developed over time, but it wasn't. To me, it feeds into those harmful narratives, so it just felt tone deaf.

Having said all that, there were parts that were quite funny in a cheesy, clichéd kind of way. Very easy read overall, I just struggled because I didn't enjoy it! I probably should've just DNFd, but I wanted to see if it'd get better further along. Unfortunately, for me, this one was waaayyyy off the mark.
