This was just pure cute and swoony christmas-y goodness! I will need my own Dr Luke Darling please thanks!

There was so much growth we saw from Catalina, from her repairing or starting to repair her relationship with her sister and mum to her opening up to Luke because he actually tries to communicate with her. (unlike the towns folk who wrote her off as an ice queen, she’s just shy and introverted 😭 this resonated so much as someone who struggles putting herself out there)

Overall beautiful novella, amazing celebration of culture and the most loveable characters with compelling stories themselves. Best book to end 2024
