Title: Wanted to love this but...
Product review: I really wanted to like this book. I enjoy Baldacci's writing style, but it seemed like he tried a little too hard with this one. Think about every cliche and far fetched idea u can imagine, and try to sell it as a Christmas story. Look, i understand the concept of a Christmas book. Something sad happens, then something nice happens and you feel better. However, this book seemed like too much went wrong, and felt like it had no soul. It certainly didn't warm me up at all. The characters lacked any depth and i felt no empathy towards any of them. There are plenty of better Christmas books out there. The only saving grace was that its a very quick read. If you want a warm and cozy Christmas story, look elsewhere.
