Comments + opinion:
This book has always been a favourite of mine since I was younger. It’s the perfect read (or reread in my case) for Christmas that will warm your heart and wish you had yourself a red notebook to exchange with a mysterious stranger. It has some of my favourite Christmas elements: a sunshine girl x grumpy boy troupe, a Christmas fanatic and a Grinch (I wonder if Dash was actually inspired by the Grinch) and a cute romance for all ages! It’s timeless in other words and should be a classic.
