Starry Night
’Tis the season for romance, second chances, and Christmas cheer with this new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.
Carrie Slayton, a big-city society-page columnist, longs to write more serious news stories. So her editor hands her a challenge: She can cover any topic she wants, but only if she first scores the paper an interview with Finn Dalton, the notoriously reclusive author.
Living in the remote Alaskan wilderness, Finn has written a megabestselling memoir about surviving in the wild. But he stubbornly declines to speak to anyone in the press, and no one even knows exactly where he lives.
Digging deep into Finn’s past, Carrie develops a theory on his whereabouts. It is the holidays, but her career is at stake, so she forsakes her family celebrations and flies out to snowy Alaska. When she finally finds Finn, she discovers a man both more charismatic and more stubborn than she even expected. And soon she is torn between pursuing the story of a lifetime and following her heart.
Filled with all the comforts and joys of Christmastime, Starry Night is a delightful novel of finding happiness in the most surprising places.

This, and it will come as no surprise hearing this, is not a book for all seasons. It's Christmassy book without Santa actually in it. An improbable love story that had me eating out of the author's hand. I don't know why I'm giving it only 3 stars.
Maybe I've been spoilt. I seem to have forgotten the excruciating pages of some chunkster books. No matter, people can still read Starry Night and decide for themselves. For the record, the two lovers here are Finn Dalton and Carrie Slayton. There's something sad about this book.
It's as if the book is trying to tell you that yes, what you're reading is romance fluff. But you are looking over at your past and wonder what might have been. Many people who want psychological breakdowns(not the disease but the stats), or want build up or descriptions, well this book is not for you.
This book seems to have been written by a woman for women. But it does not feel that way. For bearded loners out there, Finn Dalton looks like someone to emulate. Dalton is a NYT bestselling author. He doesn't seem funny or very intelligent contrary to what Carrie says. But it's all in good taste. I'm really trying to restrain myself from reading more of the author's books. We'll see.

Read this for 12 Tasks of the Festive Season:
Task the First: The Winter Wonderland:
- Read a book that is set in a snowy place.
I think I sub-consciously rounded up because of how gorgeous the cover is. The hero and heroine spend around 96hrs together, 48 of that is contentious. I have no earthly idea when they fall in love, she leaves Alaska and suddenly he is texting her and they're in a relationship. Hero has serious women hating issues, as in hating ALL women. His mother and father got divorced when he was young and his father wouldn't let his mother take him 50% and then hero had one bad romantic relationship. The women hating was over-the-top and not attractive in the least. Heroine was a rude buttiniski.
There was no romance in this to speak of.
I liked the dog.

I am ashamed to say that this is the first Debbie Macomber book that I have read, and now I have finished it I could happily slap myself for missing out for so long, it definitely won’t be my last.
Starry Night is your perfect mix of humor, romance and storyline. It kept me hooked from the beginning, and I have to admit I stayed up past my bedtime to finish it. If you are looking for an edge of your seat, thrill a minute type of story then this is definitely not for you. However, if you want a great story, likeable characters, and a happily ever after, with the added incentive of lots of Alaskan snow, and Christmastime thrown in, then this book is definitely for you.
I found Debbie’s writing similar to that of Nora Roberts (although not as spicy if you know what I mean), the story wraps you up in its embrace, and you really feel emotionally invested in the characters and their outcome.
Carrie is the type of girl you would want to be friends with if you met her, a family orientated girl, looking to challenge herself in her job, but not willing to negotiate on her principles in order to get ahead.
I would describe Finn as a “Mountain Man”, a bit surly, not looking to be sociable, but also 100% gentleman. I LOVED HIM!!! I would happily be stranded in Alaska with him for a few days; I loved his dog Hennessey as well.
Another first for me in this book was the inclusion of the word Oosik….”what is an Oosik” I hear you ask. Well let me put your out of your quandary; it’s a Walrus Penis Bone. Now it’s not every day you read about those in a book is it!
Read. This. Book. It will leave you with a smile on your face.

This is a Short Cute Hate to Love Christmas Romance. I love Debbie Macomber Christmas book. I have to say that this book makes me want to go to Alaska and look at the Stars. The characters are not lovable characters, but I still really enjoyed the characters. I love that the characters pulls the best of each other out. I do not think this book screams Christmas, but it as Christmas in the background. If you are looking for a Cute and Sweet Christmas book this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a Sweet fast hate to love romance that takes place in the winter then this is the book for you.

This was a cute novella-length Christmas romance that's perfect for listening to while putting ornaments on your tree or wrapping gifts, or just having something to read while the days get darker and colder and we move towards the holidays. 🎄❄
Finn is a reclusive outdoorsman who has penned a famous Jack London-style novel set in his beloved Alaska, but he is so off the grid that no one can find him and score an interview. Carrie is tired of being assigned to the gossip column at her reporter job, and when her boss promises if she tracks Finn down, she can switch assignments, she jumps at the chance. Their road to love is a bit bumpy, but full of endearing moments, and the cold setting was great for the holidays, especially if you don't live somewhere cold yourself! ❄❄

This book started off as a 2-3 star and went rollin' on downhill at an incredible rate. I gave this book 1 star because I just don't have the heart to give it any less. I rounded it up from -20 stars. But really it's -25 star book. This book was one **MASSIVE** eye roll.
Let me preface this review a bit. I'm not really annoyed at *how* these two people met, I'm not at all annoyed at the realism behind how either. I'm annoyed at how it was all played out, and how it was written. It's so bad.
I've watched many a Hallmark Christmas movie through the years and perhaps because of that I was jaded within the first 2 pages of this book as it reads that it was purposefully written to be a script for one of those movies. Now, I LOVE a good romantic movie, especially a Christmas one. This was absolutely neither. As I read on I realized it probably would have been one of those cheesy Hallmark ones you purposefully watch to make fun of. To me, it so did not work in book form.
As a career woman, wait wait wait, I almost forgot, this isn't even a Christmas novel. IT LITERALLY SAYS A CHRISTMAS NOVEL ON THE COVER WITH A LIT TREE AND ALL, yet, only the last 1/4 or so was set leading up to Christmas. Maybe the last 1/10th set at Christmastime. C'mon. Sorry, so back to Carrie, the career woman who within the first 2 chapters you learn is a super inconsiderate, nosy, crappy person towards the man who's house and life she quite literally barged in on. She aggressively digs her opinions into a deep rooted family matter in man's life. That guy, Finn Dalton, is the love interest and Finn Dalton is a toxic piece of shiiiiiiit. Wow does this boy ever have issues. You learn very quickly that this dude has an emotional level that of a 3 year old, many thanks to his toxic Father raising him. He furthers these charms by bordering ever so close to a level of creepy jealousy that could overflow into uncontrollable anger. Red flags ALL over. Oh, but Carrie realizes she's IN LOVE with him mere 48hrs after literally barging in on his hyper-private life which was quickly met with verbally berating and despising each other for their first THIRTY-SIX HOURS together. He goes to play this reverse psychology month long head game thing with her. I can't. I'm done.
Ok so then the writer tries to tie it all up in the end, why they acted they way they did etc. but no, sorry, it was too late to redeem the crappy story. What's amusing is that the author wrote in the preface "I hope this is one of the most romantic stories you've ever read." Oh, but was is ever not. Hahaha, she also wrote way too many times "her phone beeped, indicating she had a message". Mmhmyep, got it, thanks.
The one thing that WAS good with this book was that it was a quick read because my god if this book was any longer it very may well have been the first book I've ever thrown in the garbage.
So bad.

Ooh, I really liked this one!!
Contemporary holiday romance. A city girl society columnist needs to find the reclusive best selling author who happens to live in Alaska. Her job depends on landing this interview while he has never once given one. I love the two main and they had good chemistry.
Starry Night is almost great but the lame conflict was too contrived.

This book did the trick for me and got me into the Christmas "mood" just that little bit more that I needed! Debbie Macomber is my go to author when I just need a quick feel good book that usually has such a nice romance attached to it. I love that her stories usually include the love of family in them as well; as you all know how important family is to me!!!
In Starry Night we are introduced to a society page columnist named Carrie Slayton. She is becoming bored with writing about rich people who just seem interested in "surface" things, and what she really wants is to write about something/someone with more meaning. She is given an opportunity to move ahead in her job if she can find the reclusive author of a bestselling book. So far, no one has been able to find him, or interview him; but the public love him and want to know more about him. Carrie gets a tip regarding Finn's whereabouts, and off she goes to Alaska. Unfortunately, she leaves her family plans for Thanksgiving behind, and leaves for Fairbanks very unprepared for the winter conditions that she finds.
Carrie does find Finn, and because of a storm becomes stuck with him in his home. Oh, I might add that Finn is NOT happy that she is there and further more, he is extremely grumpy about it, and not welcoming at all. He has this one huge character flaw, and that is he does not think highly of women!!! So, the games begin...Carrie trys her darndest to be nice, while Finn tries his to be cantankerous and mean! Something magical happens along the way though, and these two figure out that they may not be as different then they thought.
I love stories like this. I am a sucker for when the couple gets stranded together, and they are forced to face their attraction for one another! This book was quite short, but it really was a feel good read, and there were a few chuckles along the way. I am glad that I chose this to be my Christmas story of the season...and Debbie Macomber is still a Queen of Romance in my eyes!!!

I chose this book because I wanted a light, fluffy Christmas romance to put me in the Christmas spirit. I can totally be down with some cheesiness around the holiday season. However, this book didn't hit the spot for me. It was too sweet, too cheesy, just a little too much of everything I wanted. At the same time, I thought Christmas played too small a part in it. It was set in November and December so the atmosphere was cold and wintery but Christmas wasn't actually mentioned that much.
The story felt rushed. It's a short book, at just over 200 pages with a pretty big font and mass market paperback sized pages. I think if the author would have spent some more time developing the relationship between Finn and Carrie I would have like it better. They spent way to much time just talking and playing cards. Also, I should have looked into this author more before choosing a book by her - I didn't realize her books are so chaste. I like some steam with my cheesy romance!
If you like to keep it clean, short and sweet then this may be the book for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.

2.5 Stars. This short holiday story started out pretty good, but kind of went downhill pretty fast for me. As my local book-club pick for December, I faithfully read the 256 pages, but overall found it kind of corny and predictable. There is a little bit of romance, but no passion, a great dog (Hennessy), but not much to really put you in the holiday spirit.

***2 stars***
I was going to give this 2,5 stars and round it up to 3, but the ending disappointed me so much, that I felt like it doesn't deserve the extra 0,5 star.
Full review to come.

Starry Night is the 76th stand-alone novel by popular American author, Debbie Macomber. It is almost Thanksgiving, and while Carrie Slayton misses her family in Seattle, she is hoping her job at the Chicago Herald will further her career as a journalist. But so far, she’s been stuck in the society pages. When Carrie declares her intention to quit, her boss promises her meatier fare if she can manage to track down and interview reclusive writer, Finn Dalton.
Carrie rises to the challenge and is surprisingly successful, managing to get herself dropped at his cabin in the Alaskan wilderness. But welcomed with open arms, she is not, and an uncooperative Finn threatens to derail her grand plans. And when she finally gets her story, she faces another dilemma. Macomber is the queen of feel-good romance, and this one is no exception: a Christmas happily ever after is guaranteed. A sweet, easy read.

Okay, so, I'm not a Macomber fan; I've never read anything of hers, at least not that I can recall, so I'm not really sure how this novel compares to any other of her works. However, I'm willing to give Macomber the benefit of the doubt and say that perhaps her earliest novels were not as terrible as this one.
What happens sometimes, I think, is that well-known authors publishing their umpteenth book (or ones trying to meet a Christmas deadline) is that they just kind of "phone it in" A lot of their fans are going to buy/read it just because they're her fans, and of course she knows this. So, details are skirted, leaps are made, and plot falls by the wayside--which is definitely, definitely what happened here.
If you loved, loved, loved this book, stop reading this review right now. The rest will only make you angry, and trust me, we agree on nothing.
That being said: This book was terrible. The plot was ill-conceived, and ill-executed, not to mention terribly developed. I actually first picked this book up because I was looking for a Christmas story for the holidays, and read the sleeve, which gave pretty much the plot I began writing approximately three years ago. Which I never finished. Oh well, my fault. However, mine was infinitely better than Macomber's shoddy attempt here.
It's such a great story for a romance novel, and she just scooped it up and ruined it.
First of all, I love how this was marketed as a Christmas story JUST because it takes place at Christmas time. Ridiculous!
And, if one more person looked at another for an extra-long moment, I was going to do something drastic.
The characters were flat and boring, and the plot was just rushed along, important details skipped over, etc., etc., etc.
Bottom line: I'm glad I got this book for 50% off. Needless to say, I'm not a Macomber convert.
What a fabulous opportunity, utterly wasted.

I thought Carrie was very strong and independent, and I liked the way that she went after what she wanted. She was determined to get ahead in her job, and if that meant going to Alaska and finding a elusive author, she was ready for the challenge!
I enjoyed reading how Carrie and Finn got to know each other, and how she adapts to the Alaska wilderness. Without giving too much of the story away...this is a book about family, love and Christmas romances...
Debbie Macomber delivers a wonderful setting and enjoyable characters for this new romantic book.
I really enjoyed it!

I'm about halfway through this book but 3 things are bugging me so far that I must get off my chest.
1.) She is a journalist and she knows nothing about the most sensational bestseller of the last year? A book that has clubs devoted to it; inspired by it? She has never heard of the author? Come on. that is just ignorant.
2.) She goes to Alaska to spend time in the wilderness and airports and does not bring her E-Reader? Please. Debbie, most people who read your books do not go out the door without a paperback or their E-Reader.
3.) The word "Grizzled" does not mean unshaven. It means gray-haired. I could forgive this in a new young author. but for someone of her stature, it beggars belief. And her editor was where now?
**edit** I did finish this book, but it did not get any better. DM has a tendency to spoonfeed her readers like she is kindergarten teacher trying to get her students to understand something.

Um... I kinda wanted to throw up after this book. It's a book about a guy who hates all women because he has mommy issues and one girl cheated on him. Then a girl comes into his house wanting to report and expose his life and they start making out after staying in the same house for like three days. Um... why? This SUCKED, I'm not even going to lie.

This was a quick read, however I've read this plotline before. I expected a little bit of a surprise coming from Ms. Macomber. However, it was nice to listen to a Christmas story in September. I'm already pumped for the upcoming holiday season!

2.5**
Carrie Slayton is stuck covering society events, but longs to be a “real” journalist. Her editor tells her she can have any assignment she wants IF she can manage to track down and interview the notoriously reclusive author Finn Dalton, whose memoir of life in a remote Alaskan homestead has catapulted to the top of the best seller lists.
You know where this is headed, don’t you?
It’s a typical Macomber holiday schmaltz novel. Plucky girl with not enough sense to dress for the weather traipses off to the wilderness and charms the irascible bachelor. Of course, they cannot possibly stay together, so she returns to her big-city job in Chicago, only to pine miserably for her mountain man. If that sounds rather dreadful and cliched ... well, Macomber’s writing isn’t much better. The characters are straight out of central casting and the plot is predictable.
Oh, and with “friends” like Sophie, who needs enemies?!
Still, it’s a fast and entertaining holiday read.

Cute!
I'm not a huge romance fan but every book that I have read by Debbie Macomber has been a great one! This one is a cute romance 😍 and it's interesting to keep your attention! Also, this is a pretty quick read!
Carrie is a hard-working reporter and she really isn't that interested in what she is writing at the newspaper. She wants to write more serious articles, so in an effort to appease her. Her editor says if she finds an author and get an interview with him. No other reporter had been successful in getting an interview with this author because no one can find him. No one other than the publisher knows who the author is, despite the author using his actual name.
Carrie is determined to get this interview for this article so she starts searching. Soon she finds the author's mother, and then one of his friends.
Finn is an Alaskan man who loves his privacy, he wrote his book over his love of the outdoors and such. When Carrie finds him, he is at first very angry! Then slowly as they are stuck in the cabin together, they start growing feelings. As their time comes to an end, does absence make the heart grow fonder, or are they ready to continue their own lives before this incident?
I loved this romance, it was definitely a cute romance!

Starry Night by Debbie Macomber
Contemporary Christmas romance. Closed door, no heat.
Carrie Slayton wants to report on real stories, not just society events. Her boss agrees let her cover any topic if she can track down and interview Finn Dalton, the newest bestselling author who is an unknown reclusive. Carrie does some investigating and finds Finn’s mother. While her mother is used to questions, she gives Carrie a keepsake to pass on to Finn. Carrie ends up being dropped off in the remote tundra which she is told is within walking distance to Finn’s house. Snow, cold, and ice make the journal difficult but Finn and his dog come to the rescue.
Now if she can just get him to allow an interview.
What do you do with long nights of cold and darkness? Cribbage apparently. The game seems to be popular in a lot of books by this author. I know Rummy 500, war and Go Fish, but not Cribbage.
The romance is sweet and Carrie is very honorable in her decisions. I really liked that both were willing to make accommodations.

"𝑀𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑦 𝐶ℎ𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑎𝑠. 𝐿𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑚𝑒."
Yes, this was as cliche as a romance could be, but do I care? NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST
'Starry Night' is a light, adorable romance set around the lead up to Christmas. This book was adorable, I was quite literally screaming for the last 100 pages. I hadn't gone into this book expecting much, but wow I loved it
Carrie is a big-city society-page columnist, but wishes she could write about worthwhile topics. Similar to 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days', Carrie's editor promises that if she can get an interview with the notoriously reclusive author Finn Dalton, she can leave her society-page days in the past
Finn lives in the remote Alaskan wilderness and survives mostly without human contact. But, after his memoir rockets to the top of the bestsellers list, a lot of unwanted media attention has headed his way.
Carrie is determined to further her career, and Finn is determined to not give anything away. Soon enough, Carrie finds herself torn between pursuing the story of a lifetime and following her heart. With Christmas just around the corner, who knows what the holidays have in store for this unlikely pair
When researching what books to order in I actually only read this book because I found it on a list of '35 Best Christmas Books to Snuggle Up With This Holiday Season' on Oprah's website ( https://www.oprahmag.com/entertainmen... ), which is where I found most of my holiday recommendations this year so I'd recommend checking it out😊
Writing this review has me in such a good mood listening to the most romantic Christmas songs, I'm going to watch 'The Bishop's Wife' tonight because it was Carrie's favourite Christmas movie in the book.
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Carrie is a city girl, who works as a society-page columnist. She loves her job, but her current position is not what she actually wants to write, and when she goes to her boss to talk about a new position, she gets a proposal that seems great-she has to find an author, who doesn't want to be found and do an interview with him-easy right? She goes on an adventure to Alaska to actually find him, in a hope to get the interview and get a job position she really wants. What she doesn't consider is the situation and the man that waits her there. After spending a few days together due to a strong snow storm, Finn and Carrie grow close together, but things don't go so easy, Finn doesn't trust women and Carrie has to decide whether she wants the man she fell in love with or write the article that could help her career immensely.
It was my first book by Debbie Macomber and I really enjoyed it. It was a sweet romance between a city girl and a man, who loves to live in solitude. I really liked the description of Alaskan nature, the snowy winter and starry sky. Although the ending was predictable, the story was still very enjoyable and because there were several bumps in the road to love, which kept it interesting until the end.

I enjoyed this book but the romance was a little to much for me. Our two main characters met and fell right in love. I thought this was how the book was going to go but thank God for some conflict. I have to say the female lead had great sense about her and I did enjoy this from her. The male lead I didn't really understand. He wanted to stay away from the public but really never gave much of an excuse why, only that he didn't want to be bothered. It got a little frustrating at times especially when our female character could have gotten ahead in her career if she did the interview, but for him and the love for him she refused. I enjoyed reading the book and it will take you about a day to finish this read so you can be satisfied quickly. I do recommend this book if you want a Hallmark book to read.

3.5 stars. Carrie is a journalist who wants to write about more than just society events. Finn has written a book, "Alone" about surviving in the Alaskan wilderness. Carrie sets out to locate Finn in Alaska and be the first journalist to interview him. With a token from his Mother and a ride from a piolet named Sawyer, she shows up . unannounced at Finn's cabin in the middle of a winter storm . in Alaska. Their meeting is tense but sets the stage for romance. Short and sweet this is a great book to read during the Holiday season.

February 17, 2021Kitap okumak istiyorum ama bir boşlukta hissediyorum kendimi. Eğer bir şeyler okumazsam bu süreçte kitaplara çok zor dönüyorum. Böyle zamanlarda genelde kısa romantik kitaplar ya da harlequinler okurum. Bu da klasik Debbie kitaplarındandı. Okumazsanız hiç bir şey kaybetmezsiniz. Çok da gereği olan bir kitap değildi 😂🤭 Sırf vakit geçirmelik bir hikaye oldu.
Alaska kırsalında sessiz sakin kendi halinde takılan Finn, aylarca çok satan, listelerde bir numara olan bir kitap yazar. Doğal olarak popüler ve herkes merakta. Kimdir nedir? Ne yer içer ? 😝 Ama adam tam bir münzevi. Amacı popüler olmak da değil. Meraklı gazetecilerden de gına gelmiş. Ah bir de sorunlu bir çocukluk ve hafiften kadınlara karşı güvensizlik problemi var. Çok şaşırtıcı bir kurgu evet 😂
Carrie gazeteci kızımız. Bıkmış cemiyet-sosyete haberleri yapmaktan. İstifa eder. Ah patronu ise bir teklifte bulunur. Finn ile röportaj yap istediğin iş senin.☺️
İnatçı kızımız toplar bavulunu ver elini Alaska. Ah yazık kızımıza.TLC sağolsun ben bile biliyorum Alaska şartları ne zordur. Plaja gider gibi ince ceketle gitti oralara 😂Bir de soğuğa alışıkmış😂
Ah eğlenceli , komik yada akıcıydı diyemem. Çok düz bir okuma oldu. Çok gerekli olan bir okuma değil. Eğer elinizdeyse okuyabilirsiniz ama değilse başka bir şey deneyiniz 😂

Happy Christmas fluff. ❤️🎄

As the leaves are starting to fall, are you ready to start your stack of books for hibernation months? What I mean is the months when it gets a chill in the night air no matter where you are or perhaps you want to imagine that romantic white Christmas since you will not have the snow. Either way, add this to the pile. To those days when life is completely chaotic and getting away from you and it seems there will never be a break or to be fully accomplished on your to-do list, this is a relaxation read. If you know me at all, you know things have been up and down lately and this week is no exception with sick girls and a bit of a cold myself and I thought I would never get everything done. While I still have one more review to come, and this one is much later in the day than I would wish it is still in plenty of time for you to add it to your lists to pre-order for this Christmas season. Honestly this could be a great Thanksgiving read, or just anytime.
Debbie Macomber has a way with storytelling. Her series are wonderful such as Blossom Street, but her Christmas novellas are worth every penny and something I look forward to each year since I first discovered her books. Starry Night is about magic, and that magic is called love. This story is enough to give anyone hope and a wistful feeling, but it is more than that especially to me. When I met my husband it was just automatic for us, and we never really planned dates or to go out again as such -- it was always just what do you want to do Friday, etc. Then after a few months when we really made it official to be his girlfriend, I went out of town for over four weeks. So in reading this story, about after *spoiler* Finn and Carrie meet, and their two days together end with a kiss to be divided by a great distance, I felt it... I could completely relate to the hopes and dreams but unsure feelings.
Every book I read from Debbie Macomber comes off the page and this one is no surprise. Definitely a recommendation from this reading romantic.

This was....fine. I've never read a Macomber book before, but she's super popular with my library's patrons. I was putting up a display of holiday books, and was marveling again at just how MANY Christmas books Macomber has written. I decided on a whim to read one of her more highly-rated standalone Christmas books, to get me in the holiday spirit, and just to....see.
And, this was.....fine. I can see why Macomber is popular, since the writing is easy to follow, and the storyline are cozily predictable. This is basically a Hallmark movie, but in book form. It's exactly what I expected. Big-city career woman leaves her busy life to go to the country, where she meets a rugged manly man and they fall in love pretty much instantly. I had to laugh when their email addresses were (I shit you not), girlygirl@something.com and alaskaman@something.com.
Girly Girl and Alaska Man. Wow. Such nuance.
Since I knew I was going to have a hard time taking this book seriously, I decided to go in the opposite direction by printing out a "Hallmark Movie BINGO" card that I found online. I had to tweak some of the criteria to reflect that this was a book, not a movie, but otherwise it totally fit. Somehow I missed picking a card that included "flannel", but just know that there was definitely some flannel in this book. The categories that I WAS able to check off were:
Making a Family Recipe
Hot Cocoa
Decorating a Christmas Tree
Main Character Lost a Parent
It's Snowing!
A Cute Pet Dog
Carol Singing
Free Space (I filled this in ahead of time with "Cozy Fire")
Flashback to Childhood
Random Crafty Skills
Twinkle Lights (if we count gazing at stars, the OG twinkle lights)
Cozy Sweaters
Main Character Can't Stay in Town For Long
Main Character Stressing About Work
Airport Scene
I made two BINGOs! Win!

"Starry Night" was simple and nice to read if you're in the mood of something 'light' but if you're looking for a hot, dark, raw or passionate book then go find some other book because this one isn't really for you. This novel is cute and makes you believe in happy endings, even if for just a moment. It takes place around the holidays with the spirit of Christmas in a few scenes. When you read it, you're longing for a man like Finn and a warm family surrounding you.
Carrie Slayton, wants to have more responsibilities in her job. That's why she accept the opportunity offered by her boss. She could write whatever she wants if she discovers where the famous and reclusive Finn Dalton lives, and if she has an interview. When she finally founds him, and try to talk to him, she's more talking to herself because even his dog is more talkative than him. But well, I kind of understand him. He doesn't want anything with a nosy journalist who enters his life without his permission and he also has a problem with women Let's say that writing an article wouldn't be easy for her. They're liking each other anyway (surprising for both of them), so they starts a long distance relationship. (She's in the states, he's in Alaska) And that's all I'll tell you about the story.
It was okay for me but maybe it was too simple for my taste, I don't know. But if you need a book like that, enjoy :).
