“Every time I’m with her, it’s like the world shines a little brighter.”

🎄 Friends to lovers
🎄 Slow burn
🎄 He falls first
🎄 FMC overcomes trauma surrounding death of parents 
🎄 Family Christmas Tree Farm
🎄 Some well established secondary characters 
🎄 Fake dating (briefly to make exes jealous)
🎄 Found family
🎄 Epilogue

🚩 Toxic masculinity & sexism in characters’ speech & thoughts towards each other. Writing normalises men being shamed as ‘effeminate’ & ‘enuch’, women as ‘ho’, ‘bitch’, and slut-shamed.
🚩 Little growth in characters surrounding sexist & toxic remarks
🚩 Moderate typos

⚠️ Pregnancy, moderate violence, car accident (not on page), death of parents (not on page), misogyny/sexism, toxic relationship, toxic friendship, vomit, MC returns from active duty in military.
