Bah, Humbug!

"A Romantic Comedy Novella"
If you get this book, you're going to find yourself looking at a candy cane sweet story, full of gentle laughs that don't seem to stop. But as much fun as there is in the story, there are also a few sobering ones, that may induce tears. All together in my opinion that makes it a good read.
A unique feature I enjoyed about this book is how the author featured a mothers interactions with her children, straight off the bat. There wasn't a "SURPRISE! There's kids!" moment for the reader. That said, there is no condemnation for her being a single mother either, because we're given an explanation of what happened with her husband. (But I'm not going to spill the beans.)
Another thing I enjoyed was the wonderful way the author described winter fun. It was both clean and imaginative. At half the length of most everyday romance novels, this novella is appropriate for t'weens, teens, and adults. There is no questionable content, at least none that I find harmful to the above reading groups.
Great Story for people that may be having trouble accepting a loss. Though it is a bit heady at times on the topic, if you're sentimental, it's a nice look at the process. It is definitely nice to read a romance novella that was so positive about spending time with family. In short, this is a sweet sentimental piece, anything but 'bah humbug' appropriate.
