She\u2019s trapped in a snowy Groundhog Day. But would repeat meet-cutes with Dev really be so bad for a heart that needs mending?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars. I\u2019m usually a big fan of Kelk\u2019s work, and her writing style in this one was as enjoyable as always\u2014funny, charming, and easy to read. She has a knack for creating cozy settings and relatable characters, and I could picture the snowy village scenes perfectly. However, the storyline itself didn\u2019t quite work for me. While the premise of a Christmas \u2018Groundhog Day\u2019 had potential, I found it didn\u2019t deliver the spark or excitement I was hoping for. The plot felt repetitive, and even though Gwen\u2019s interactions with Dev were sweet, they weren\u2019t enough to carry the story for me.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it was an enjoyable read in parts, and I still think Kelk fans will appreciate her humor and warmth. But, for me, this one didn\u2019t have the same pull as her other books.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- .entry-footer --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synopsis: Newly single lawyer Gwen Baker needs a family Christmas to bury her woes, with festive films, country walks and a mountain of chocolate.
