I am a big Nina High fan, so when I saw that Love, At Christmas was coming out with updates on the Martin Brothers, I was sooo excited. I really loved each of these characters in their individual books, which came out in the past year or so. I quickly read the series, finding each book even better than the last. Unfortunately, I don't think Love, At Christmas gave me that excitement. I understand there are 3 novellas, but I would've preferred if they were combined into one story, so that the timeline was much more cohesive. Dru and Charisse's story was the best, but the portrayal of Porsche made her generally unlikable and Amaya came off as kind of boring, which she was not in her story with Draymond. Also, I don't understand why Lily's love life continues to be an underlying story when we haven't gotten a book about her. As a matter of fact, Nina High has seemingly moved onto a completely different storyline with The Teachers of Hardwood High (which is so damn good). All in all, Love, At Christmas is a decent follow up but it didn't do much for opinion of the characters I had previously really enjoyed.
