I've always been of the opinion that Ali Hazelwood shines in longer form, so was I expecting the usual from her short stories? Yes. Is my mid rating a surprise? To me, not really. But did this book scratch some kind of romance itch? Yes it did.

Pretty straightforward miscommunication trope, but it was still a bit adorable and I blitzed through the entire thing in around an hour. I actually did wish this had been on the smuttier side, because ya know, staying warm in the winter and shit, but what can I say? I'm a trash panda.
