Queen B’s Decree: Season of Love had an interesting concept that I couldn’t resist: a jewish-owned Christmas tree farm. When Miriam returns for her great-aunt’s death, she discovers she is left one-quarter of the farm…and it’s not fiscally healthy.
Miriam was hard to like. She’s avoided all mention of that part of her family, due to some major trauma revolving her father. So even though her father doesn’t go to the farm, nor does he live there, she still just drops off the side of the planet and refuses to communicate with her great-aunt Cass and her cousin. Then she has the gall to be mad that no one told her that Cass was sick?! MAKE IT MAKE SENSE FOR ME.
I resonated so much more with Noelle. She has a grudge against Miriam from the first day (and I did too, girl!) but she apologizes and grows as a character, the more that we learn her back story.
Season of Love felt long and dragging. And we don’t even get any sexy times, of which I am very disappointed with. Less of a romance and more of a “women’s fiction” type story, while still enjoyable most of the time, just not what I had hoped for.
