3.51 AVERAGE


DNF This book was not bringing me any holiday joy. I realized I was 20% in and hated both of the main characters, so I flipped through the book to see if they improved and it didn't look like they did. I checked a few goodreads reviews which confirmed that they didn't really get any better. They were both just immature and Noel's rivalry with Nick's ex was just toxic. I don't need to read books that don't make me happy.

Finally a Christmas romance that wasn't epically cringey ...

If you are looking for a cute, spicy Christmas romance than this is it! I loved how this book puts an importance on family and friends as well as romantic relationships. It has a heart to it that a lot of other Christmas romances tend to lack.

I was a little skeptical because friends to lovers is not always my favorite trope, but I was pleasantly surprised how much I loved this one! I was rooting for Nick and Noel from the first chapter ans loved reading their story.
