This was so cute!! I loved the movie, “The Holiday” and this is basically that but so queer. It was so cute. I really loved these characters and their journey. I liked watching them fall in love. I would definitely recommend it as a light easy sweet read

While the overall story was not for me, I connected greatly with Greta’s family dynamic, the struggles it caused in her interpersonal relationships, and her transition into her own person outside of the enmeshed family. I loved how her thought process and realizations were thoroughly communicated to the reader but also her partner.
