“Every time I’m with her, it’s like the world shines a little brighter.”
🎄 Friends to lovers
🎄 Slow burn
🎄 He falls first
🎄 FMC overcomes trauma surrounding death of parents
🎄 Family Christmas Tree Farm
🎄 Some well established secondary characters
🎄 Fake dating (briefly to make exes jealous)
🎄 Found family
🎄 Epilogue
🚩 Toxic masculinity & sexism in characters’ speech & thoughts towards each other. Writing normalises men being shamed as ‘effeminate’ & ‘enuch’, women as ‘ho’, ‘bitch’, and slut-shamed.
🚩 Little growth in characters surrounding sexist & toxic remarks
🚩 Moderate typos

The story is well thought and the characters have really great background stories, all of them (even Amber). Noel's past really touch my heart. I understood her emotions and actions. Nick's character is super kind and lovable and his family is adorable and caring. Such a warm and cute book. Just perfect for Christmas.
The reason why I don't read this genre is well portrait in this book: girls fighting each other for a guy, characters who just don't make up their minds, and every single sex scene is described with very excruciating details (we get it - he is hot, she is hot, they have lots of sex).
Anyway, if this is your type of book, go ahead, you will enjoy it!
