3+ This was a very cute story, and bonus points for being set in Edinburgh, one of my favourite cities. What I loved about it: the setting, the ambiance, the snow and wintery, Christmassy, descriptions. Top notch vibes. I also, surprisingly (because I ...more |

3- Listen, I can see that the author is trying to be funny, and apparently plenty of people think she succeeded, so I'll chalk this one up to 'not my thing'. And I agree with what someone else said about the humorous almost slap-sticky/juvenile tone a ...more |
