This one was just ok. I thought they forgave each other really really quickly. It was almost like things just went too well. Plus it reminded me a lot of The Wedding Planner. I didn’t love the narrator on this one either.

I did love the relationship she rebuilt with her father and the pieces where she learned more about her mom too.

third act break-ups never make sense, they are either nonsensical or something unforgivable

This romcom was sweet and it’s always nice to get a holiday setting in sapphic romance novels. We do not have enough of that.

This book is cute and worth the read if you love romance and the holidays, just fell a little short for me in certain areas such as humor and some other things that felt a bit bland. Especially since this was such an anticipated read for me this year. Maybe my expectations were just a bit too high.

I loved this established atmosphere and setting. I was transported into a small town during the holiday season every time I sat down to read. The found family trope in this book is also super comforting.

I am looking forward to reading more of the Fern Falls series despite this not being one of my favorite books by any means. I do not want to say goodbye to this universe yet!

Thank you to Kensington Books and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Super cute book! I was hesitant to read a winter/Christmas book in the middle of summer, but I have to say I was totally willing to sing deck the halls after reading. If you want a sweet sapphic small town love story, this is for you!

It was fine and ending was good! But way too painfully long and I didn’t like the main character
