My love story all started with a letter.
Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for.
You see, once a year, my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months.
So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far.
While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father. Her devastatingly handsome, single dad father.
I should have stopped playing fairy godmother then. I should have left well enough alone. But I just couldn’t help myself. I had a connection to this girl. One that had me acting irrationally.
Like showing up on their doorstep.

At the very beginning of the book, I was excited because it started interesting with all those letters from that little girl where she thought she was talking to a real Santa Claus. It was giving me this Christmasy vibe and I think we all need a little bit of happiness this year.
But then, it quickly went downhill. The heroine became borderline creepy. She literally stalked the little girl with her friend to find out how her dad looked like and then, afterwards, she showed up at their house and pretended she was the new dog trainer just because she wanted to meet the little girl.
That was so creepy and weird for me that I just couldn't continue going on. It takes a long time for the main characters to meet, which made the story boring and I was just forcing myself at that point.
And when Sebastian and Sadie first meet (as her pretending to be a dog trainer), he was brusque and without any manners with her, so that put me off even more.
So, in conclusion, this book is, unfortunately, not my favourite.
