This was a fun, cozy holiday romcom/mystery. It was a Knives Out style mystery. I loved Ethan. He was all the green flags. Maggie was fine, having a hard time, so I understood but started off pretty rude. The romance was sweet. Honestly, it was less spicy than I thought it was gonna be. Their banter was cute, and watching them work together to solve clues was fun.  It was fun to listen along to while I was doing other things, but it didn't really like grip me.
