OMG this book is an absolute delight! I was in the mood for something sweet and spicy, and Holly’s Grizzly delivered. Irving is the absolute gooiest of cinnamon rolls and I LOVE him. Holly’s struggles to find and love herself again amidst burn out and the end of a terrible relationship are very relatable, and I loved how Irving helps her work through some of her insecurities. 

This novella has holiday vibes without being overly Christmassy, so if you’re looking for a holiday story minus the Santa puns, this is the one for you. 🐻
