Debbie Johnson

A 99 kindle deal purchased because I just watched the (not very good) Hallmark movie I’ve the same name and was curious how closely they tracked.

This is a short book - readable in a single

Like usual, the book so far better than the movie adaptation.

Do you need to read this? No

Will you enjoy it if you do? Yes… (mais)

It is the first Debbie Johnson book I have read it won’t be the last. My only niggle was snow at Christmas in Dorset, had it been set in Scotland or Northern England I would have bought it but not on the south coast.… (mais)

I know it makes sense given her past, but UGH I'm just SO ANNOYED that Becca had to get pregnant! After her very excellent outburst about how women shouldn't be defined by what they pushed out of their vaginas (I paraphrase, but only a little) I hoped that maybe we could have a strong character who didn't become a mom. Because I am loving Debbie Johnson, but I'm very much getting the vibe that she writes books about people who are defined by what they push out of their vaginas.

But this was fun. I loved that Becca hated Christmas. I loved that she was a grump. I loved that she was trying so hard to be a good sister. She's very real.… (mais)
