I had a major problem with this
book. I know Christmas stories usually include a sad, tragic event and then a
miracle or redemption occurs to provide the reader with the warm fuzzy
Christmas spirit. This book was not like that ALL. The protagonist, a
journalist, is selfish and all her actions are to enhance her career and own
self-worth. Then to redeem herself, she apologizes – but even that was to
enhance her own career as her apology appears as an article on the front page,
which she doesn’t hide was her goal. With that said, I still enjoy books even
if I don’t like or even loathe the characters however in this case, I feel the
author actually believes it’s a heartwarming story and the character redeems
herself. I felt the story did JUST the opposite and proved that some people are
incapable of unselfishly giving no matter what!
