I'm unsure about this one. It felt different from the other books in the series, but I don't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. I do enjoy the fact that we are starting to see more development in the relationships.

Everything was wrapped up nice and neat. I enjoyed this last volume so much, and loved getting some updates on other characters we met throughout the series.

This was absolutely adorable. Usually, I find the twins separated at birth trope to be a little boring, but I was pleased with how this one was done. It is a cute middle grade story that explores both Hanukkah and Christmas.

I always enjoy a "Sarah's Scribbles" book. Of course, there were some I really enjoyed, others I didn't care for. I think this one was a little bit more personal to the author, which was nice to see.

Okay, I think I liked this one more than the first two. I'm still getting used to the series, but I like how this one ended.

This volume was so good. A lot of struggles are being wrapped up and these characters have grown so much. I also loved the little side stories checking in on some of the characters we had met previously.

I don't know how I feel about this volume. Not a lot happened in it, but it did show some of the struggles the characters have to face. It dealt honestly with a really emotional topic, which I appreciated. I just didn't feel very engaged with the story though.

Cute and short, but it had all the right Christmas vibes. The mystery was kind of boring, but it wasn't meant to be overly complex. The romance part of the series is feeling a little too drawn out, I wish something more would happen already.

Oh my gosh, this one hit me in my feels. I really felt like this volume had a lot of moments that have been building up from the very start. I honestly don't know where the series will be going from here, but I'm enjoying it.

That ending! The rest of the volume had some nice moments, we did experience some time jumps. Then the ending...it was a cliffhanger. I'm immediately going to start the next one.

Who gave this author permission to mess with my emotions like this? I'm frustrated with some of the decisions the characters are making, but I know things are going to eventually work out. I'm invested in all of their relationships.

This series plays with your heart. I want some of the conflict to be resolved, but it is getting more complicated as we go. It's still such a cute story though. I hope we start seeing certain things get resolved soon.

I was more invested in this volume. It brought up a lot of issues for the couple that I'm sure will be tackled in the next volumes. The ending was kind of a cliffhanger, but one that was expected.

I wanted to like this story, but it felt too sweet and perfect. It just didn't feel real or keep my attention. It also heavily built off of the first book of the series, so that one should definitely be read first. It wasn't a horrible story, but it could have been better. I probably won't even remember much about it in a day or two.

Things got a bit more serious in this volume than they were in the first one. There were some intense moments, especially toward the end.

This was cute, but very short. I liked the story, but it needed a few more scenes with the main characters together. I just felt like their romance was too instalovey. I also wanted just a touch more of a Christmas feel to the story.

The story felt a little bit scattered to me, it had quite a few time jumps in there that didn't have a smooth flow. But, overall, the story was really cute. I look forward to the rest of the series.

I really don't know how to feel about this series. It's kind of weird, but still entertaining. I'll continue with it and see how it goes from here.

The second one wasn't as good as the first one. I also didn't care for the art style this time around. The story is still interesting, but I was a little bored with it.

I really enjoyed this, so much so that I plan to read the novels it's adapted from. I had heard of them before now, but I never took the time to check them out. The graphic novel was done really well, I obviously don't know how it compares to the novel version, but the graphic novel had such a great flow to the story. I was drawn in almost immediately. It was incredibly well done.

This was cute, but it was lacking something to make it absolutely perfect for me. The problem is that I just don't know what that thing is. I liked that we got a lot of scenes that included family members. Maybe it could have used a few more scenes in the workplace, but I don't know if that would have made much difference.

One of my issues with novellas is that a lot of them seem to follow similar storylines. This one reminds me a lot of a different story I have read. It was basically a Hallmark movie, sweet and predictable.

I've always been interested in both of these writers and the way they worked together. Having a story like this truly made me happy and enjoyed every second of it. The story felt more like a discovery, it didn't shy away from teaching some things about stories in general, while still relating to the overall story of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. It was beautifully done.

I loved this one. I've enjoyed all the books I've read in this series, but this one might be one of my favorites. I love when the story features an author or is about other books, and this one is. The couple just worked so well together. It was just so cute.

It was a little scattered, but I think that's because they were trying to shove a lot of story into the pages. It just didn't have as much development as it should have. However, it wasn't bad, I actually really enjoyed it. Now I need to read the novel it was based on to see if it has the development that I felt was missing here. I loved the art style, it was gorgeously done.

I don't remember what drew me to this book, I heard about it from somewhere and put it on a to read list, but didn't pick it up until recently. I was pleasantly surprised by it. It was well thought out and had a great story. I really can't wait for the next book to come out.

This was cute, but far too short. I would have loved for this to be slightly longer to give a little bit more development to the story. I also feel like some stuff wasn't wrapped up as neatly as I would have liked. But, other than that, it was a really good story.

I don't know if it was the book itself or the narrator, but my mind kept wandering. I liked the concept and was interested when I managed to pay attention, but I feel like I'm going to struggle to remember anything about the story. I do plan on reading the next book.

I loved the book, but the graphic novel adaption was tedious. Honestly, it took me a couple of days to get through it, which is sad considering it only should take at most an hour. However, I just was not enjoying it. The art style was terrible. To the point that I will take note of the artist and avoid them in the future. The storyline was basically the same as the book, but it just didn't translate well to a graphic novel.

It's sad to see this end, but I like the way it finished. We got a small peek at what the future holds for some of these characters. I'm not ready for it to be over. The series is just so cute. I loved every moment of it.

I don't know why I picked up this second book even though I didn't care for the first one. I think there is something wrong with me and that I'm the only one who doesn't love this series. This one may have been a bit better than the first one, but it still had incredibly cheesy moments that had me rolling my eyes. I still don't care for most of the characters, but now I feel like I have to find out what happens with them.

The conclusion of this series has left me kind of disappointed. Everything worked out the way I expected, hoped for even, but it wasn't done in a satisfying way. The ending is definitely more of a happy for now situation, of which I've never been a fan. I really feel like there should be more to the story, but there isn't.

Okay, so this was surprisingly very simple, but still really good. There was a lot of development about how certain people felt about each other, but nothing has been determined yet. I'm curious as to how this is all going to work out in the end.

I probably shouldn't have started this one until I had the next one, the last of the series, ready to go. And yet, I couldn't stop myself. I read this as quickly as I could and now I need volume 15. This one had all the feels, I loved every second of it. Most of it was intense, and I honestly don't know how the next volume will wrap everything up.

Not as good as the last few volumes, but still enjoyable. There were a few moments I really enjoyed, but then some were just boring. I'm really starting to get antsy since I know there are only 2 volumes left in the series.

I grinned like an idiot during this whole volume. There were so many cute moments. I also like that we are seeing how the story is being built up for the ending. However, I'm sad thinking there are only a few volumes left. I'm enjoying this series so much.

I kept hearing about this one, so I finally gave it a chance. It isn't too bad. I just had to get used to the ridiculousness of it. Overall, it seems like it's going to be a fun manga.

Why was it so short? I feel like I've been waiting forever for this volume and then I blew through it in a couple of minutes. This one really felt like an in-between volume. Not much happened, but I feel like we got to see some moments that defined characters a bit more. It felt serious, even though the storyline was lighthearted.

So far, this has been my favorite of the series. The relationship between the sisters was great. I really enjoyed how different they were and how that fed their interactions. I also like that we are getting more development on a romance. There seems to be a small love triangle forming.

So not a lot happened in this beginning volume, however, I did enjoy it. I will probably see where the rest of it goes, but I don't really have any expectations. I do forsee a love triangle forming, which means the rest of the series could be full of drama.

This one was more serious than the others. It was building up to a fight while wrapping up a few other things from previous volumes. It did have some cute moments that lightened things up a little bit.

I loved this volume. This volume started off right where the last one left it. That plot was wrapped up rather quickly,but I'm glad it didn't drag on. The rest of the volume was cute as well, it seems like it is a turning point in the story. Things are changing just slightly. I can't wait to see where they go from here.

I definitely think this one was more romantic than the other volumes in the series so far. There was so much between all the main relationships. It was adorable. The new storyline that was started at the end of this volume seems like it is going to be intense.

Okay, not a lot happened in this one other than a bit of development for one of the characters. But, the bonus manga killed me. I think I laughed for a solid 5 minutes.

Oh my gosh, I loved this book. I had only planned on reading a little bit of it, but I was hooked and finished it almost in one sitting. I was starting to get a little tired of the grumpy/sunshine trope, but this book changed that for me. It was so cute, I can't even find the right words to describe it. I think this author has a high potential of becoming a favorite. Hopefully, her other books are just as good as this one.
