ARC Review: A December to Remember by Jenny Bayliss

A December to Remember A December to Remember by Jenny Bayliss
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

2.5 stars (rounded up)

This book was fine but not as whimsical as I expected. The curio shop was not actually magical it was unfortunately only filled with some valuable antiques they sold for cash (of course). And the seemingly ageless cat that had always been at the shop/family ancestral home was never explained. And the book was mostly about the three half sisters cleaning out the dusty old shop and reconnecting with each other while completing a scavenger hunt and party planning as were the rules of the will their weird old dad left them. But the focus was more on other stuff I didn't particularly care about like having babies and property law. It was also very long and had POVs from all three sisters. If it was more tightly written and didn't dedicate so much to, like, housing and leases and focused more on the whimsy it would've been better, I think.

Also, it starts with a FUNERAL because it's Christmas (or winter solstice, whichever). Of course.

I received an ARC copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own
