Many thanks to NetGalley, Random House Ballantine Dell for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest romcom by Emily Stone. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Lexie's dad left when she was a child and started a new family. Lexie thrives by never staying in one place too long and is currently working as a nanny in the Alps. But her dad just died and Lexie finds out that he left her half of his travel company. But there are strings attached, because he left the other half to Theo, who worked with her father in the company. The will stipulates that they have to work together for a year before the company can be sold. To make matters worse, Rachel, her half-sister who was born after her dad left her and her mom, is back in the picture. Suddenly Lexie has to navigate new relationships while coming to grips with the past.
I'm not always a big romcom person, but I will read anything Emily Stone writes. This was definitely a book that focuses on family, resolving the past in order to move forward. I loved the idea of the niche travel company focusing on culture and traditions, as well as Lexie's wish jar. It's a fun holiday-themed book that will have you rooting on Lexie and Theo to make it both professionally and personally. Plus, it's a reminder that it is easy to form opinions and question people's actions when you don't know the real story. Put this one on your Christmas wish list!
