Christmas at the Lake

The writing of these types of books really bothers me. The characters speak much older than they seem, and they talk too formal. Nothing was realistic. I feel like I am reading something meant for a reader decades older than me. There were too many small storylines and flashbacks happening that I was getting confused about (and didn't care about). Almost as if the author couldn't decide which story to publish. I hated the miscommunication of Rebecca and Zach, and it went on way too long. Ben and Natalie tracking down Rebecca at the end was so unbelievable and unnecessary. None of the characters felt genuine to me. And the Christmas vibes were not strong enough to save it
