Okay, I'm going to say it. I felt like I was reading a Hallmark Christmas Movie. Now, as a fan of said movies, I loved this book. Funny, witty, charming, romantic and the chemistry as the relationship grew was so delightful that you felt like you might be watching some small town friends match up. I loved the fact that he was enthralled by her large family. The way he grew up made him kind of sad because his Dad just wasn't there.
