I loved everything about this holiday novella. The enemies to lovers trope was executed perfectly and the added shared workplace aspect is perfect if you loved The Hating Game. I loved all of the banter and bickering. It felt very realistic.

Truly where this book shines is in Liese's strong grasp on Own Voices fiction. Her writing has better authenticity than any writer I've ever read. In each of her books I learn something about neurodivergence along with other conditions. Her ability to make some readers feel seen while also educating other readers is a gift.

The characters in this book are fantastic. They both have some pretty serious flaws and experience growth. While the book is written from Gabriella's perspective I didn't miss Jonathan's because the dialogue was exceptional. Many times as they bickered I laughed out loud.

Sometimes in a novella the romance gets rushed, but Liese found a nice flow and it was perfect. I loved how it played out and how they communicated with each other. This book is full of amazing kisses and plenty of open door steam.

This was an amazing story. I could easily reread it again right now!

I received an advanced copy of this book through ValentinePR. This is my honest review.
