Holidays with the Wongs: The Complete Series by Jackie Lau

4.0

This set of four novellas was pretty cute. Each novella follows a different sibling: Nick, Greg, Zach, and Amber, all of whom are between the ages of maybe 26 to 34. They all have somewhat unique personalities. This is honestly just a fun collection if you want something that has heterosexual cheesy romance with a fair amount of sex.

All of the main characters were adults who, for lack of better words, just had their stuff together. There was minimal "what if he doesn't like me", and those moments of drama where you weren't sure if things would work out (and they always do) were very minimal. Lots of open communication, people being clear about their boundaries and expectations.

While some of the family interference was a little annoying, I found some moments with them to be truly touching and made the collection unique. I could see Nick's family crowding around the kitchen to watch him bake. I could see them helping Greg create a massive snow castle. I really liked when their parents supported Amber after Sebastian's parents treated her like trash.

I was in a reading for funsies rut and needed a cheery/cheesy break, and I found it here.
