Misses 4 stars for me because the book, while a good & easy read, missed a depth that would have pushed it over the top. Really liked it though!

But healing isn't always pretty, nor is it simple.
I was content with this novella, a brief break from the fear and stress I feel when reading the full-length novels.
It was, though, by no means the masterful writing that I'm used to from SJM. I understand, it's a novella; but it felt like SJM also wanted a break from her typical style. This was a rather significant deviation. I'm certain there was potential for more in this: more endearing moments, more insight, more warm fuzzies. I felt like we were just stalling or passing time with this, rather.
All in all, it's still SJM - still quality but my metrics for her writing are higher, and my disappointment docks 1.5 stars.

ACOFAS is exactly the fluffy holiday novella I expected it to be. Is it fantastic? No. But it was cute and fluffy. A good transition between the original ACOTAR trilogy and the continuation. 3 stars.
