Thank you to Forever Publishing for the gifted copy! I adored this book. It's got Jewish holiday timelines, small town Christmas spirit, as well as wonderfully complex characters some of which are also LGBTQ+. I loved how healing the whole story was and how hard it is sometimes to recover from family-induced trauma. The Christmas Tree Farm setting was immaculate. It felt so warm and fuzzy and I loved that even with Christmas vibes this book was still so beautifully Jewish. I thought the friendships were top tier and I love how protective everyone was for those they cared about. It was super fun and I found myself genuinely laughing out loud at points. I really valued the character development that Miriam and Noelle went through after they grew closer. The planned events were so cute and I truly enjoyed reading this one.
