This was a neat holiday romance. There was more emotional depth around the events that are described in the blurb than I thought there might be, which was a nice surprise. There was a realistic amount of mess and grieving as well as discussion of trauma. I really loved that other friendships and community were also a big part of the book, not just minor characters shoehorned in.
I liked so much about this, but there were parts of the writing that just weren't for me. I can't describe it much without spoilers or just talking for longer than a book review should be. Even still, it was a good read!
And for those who care, the spicy scenes are fade to black. So, while there's plenty of lusting, this may be good for folks who aren't super into heavy sex scenes.

Miriam Blum moved from her hometown a decade ago, leaving behind damaging family drama. After her beloved great-aunt Cass unexpectedly dies, Miriam returns home where Cass ran Carrigan's Christmasland tree farm.
It is there she turns her attraction away from fiancée Tara, to Noelle, one of Cass's loyal employees.
Season Of Love features an appealing cast of characters, a melding of traditions, closed-door LGBTQ+ romance, all alongside grief, sobriety, friendship and family dynamics.
