The Christmas Train

This was a sweet little Christmassy book that hit the spot, but it ended way too fast. I felt like the author wanted it to be over so rushed the last 1/4 of the story :/
3.5

I listened to the audiobook version of this through Overdrive/my local library. It was a good story and will get you in a Christmasy mood. It is set in the present, but the train travel gives it a nostalgic feel (something recognized directly in the writing, that there's just something nostalgic about train travel). There's romance, drama, and some humor. I'd call it a relaxing book that's great to read (or listen to) around the holidays. There was a twist at the very end that I didn't care for (minus 1 star from my rating). It made a portion of the events orchestrated by a particular character when I would've preferred things were just coincidental. I think it is meant to show the orchestrator cared, but it left me feeling a little cheated. Others may find it makes it more realistic. All in all, it was a good listen around the holidays and I'd recommend it.
