A super cute and heartwarming read. I am so glad I decided to pick this up because I ended up really enjoying it.

The author does an incredible job at creating loveable and real characters. Each relationship was believable and so fun to witness, and it was clear how these characters become better versions of themselves while on their respective relationship journeys. I just fell in love with the whole Belvedere family. 

The struggles surrounding addiction were also written in a refreshing way.

Witnessing Birdie’s journey with acceptance and the start of her recovery without it controlling her whole life was nice. Although it was handled with care it also wasn’t Birdie’s entire story.

The loved portrayal of queer safe sex too. I feel like a lot of queer books can forget that safe sex is a thing, but the casual inclusion of PrEP, sex roles and std checks was honestly really cool. I wish more books included it, so definitely a nice touch from the author! 

I would recommend this to anyone, a truly great holiday romance without being either too serious or too lighthearted. Love, love, loved.
