This isn’t a categorically bad book. Infact it was really well written.  Each “chapter” covered a years Xmas season and had one section for Luke’s perspective and another for Laura’s.  
It held a clear definition to follow each others feelings and worries and experiences throughout the years as their turmultous relationship has its ups and downs. 

Unfortunately I just didn’t really enjoy it.  As well written as it was I didn’t enjoy the romance, and it felt torturously dragged out by the fact the course of the book covers 14 years.  I definitely think this is a book some people are going to love as an Xmas read but it’s just not that one for me.
