Christmas short story - 2019. Very much Hallmark style with a bit of "It's a Wonderful Life" thrown in. ;)

4 stars & 4/10 hearts. Okay, so this is a really, really sweet Christmas story. It's so realistic and yet whimsical. I love the message so much. There are 2 hugs + one kiss (all undetailed), a euphemism, and also the very last section of the book is about a dead person hanging around a building and becoming a shooting star...?? I was a little confused/unsure about that, so I'll just skip over it in my rereads. But the rest of the story is so sweet and lovely and made me tear up!

*I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for my honest review. A positive review was not required. These are my honest thoughts & opinions.*
