Review
I didn't find a story I disliked in this collection. Of course I preferred some over others, but every one was well-written and sweet. The only thing better than reading this for the first time will be a few months from now, when I (hopefully) make time for a reread as the snow falls.
The stories themselves all felt unique and they didn't fall into any sort of routine - it was clear that they were written by different authors with different ideas, and they really stood out on their own because of that. It also gave the collection a great variety - I do think that anybody looking for a holiday read can find something in this book.
Overall, these were some amazing stories by great authors. I highly recommend it.
