Loved it. Definitely wasn't ready for it to end.

"No- when the rain falls you just let it fall and you grin like a madman and you dance with it, because if you can make yourself happy in the rain then you're doing pretty alright in life."

For me, this book lacked the emotional connection I look forward to when reading. I didn't find the characters as compelling as I had hoped for an end of the year holiday story.
