This book is out now!

This book made me want to take a trip to New York City or Vermont and try the local coffee shops and stroll through the town with my warm drink admiring how beautiful the landscape it.  

I will be honest the FMC Abby came off as very unlikeable to me at the start of the book until I got to learn more about her.  I am used to FMCs always being bubbly and happy and Abby just was neither of them. Could that make her more realistic? Perhaps.  Abby is in charge of a Hanukkah festival in her town but its not going as well as she had hope. In exchange for some help with his family, one of her customers at her coffee shop Seth offered to help her with the festival. 

Seth was such a warm personality and brought Abby back to life throughout the book. Abby had a not so great childhood while under her parents roof and it has left her incredibly guarded. Seth introduced her to his family and friends (included his ex fiancee) and really just helped putting herself out there. Seth's relationship with his family was very sweet and supportive especially compared to what we learned about Abby's parents. 

I felt that a lot of the book was them flirting and showing off to make their relationship come off real as opposed to really seeing them together. When they were together they were so sweet and you could tell it came off genuine. 

I read this book majority via audiobook and I thought narrated Kelli Tager did a great job! I checked and I do not believe I ever listened to any books narrated by her. Her voice made Abby come to life and make her feel lifelike. 

Check this book out if you enjoy fake dating, yummy food, set along the winter season!
