What a lovely read! Light hearted and fun, like a hallmark movie in all the best ways. Got me back on my Yiddish kick, had to google a couple phrases but my grandma knows them all :) so sweet!

To be totally honest, I didn’t even get past the first chapter. There’s no point in continuing after reading the author compare coming out as gay to admitting to liking Christmas. Like what? 

Upon reading other reviews, apparently the main character also makes a joke about genocide. So this is a hard pass. 

I’m not typically one to dnf books, but I have no issues putting this one down.

This book was super cute! I enjoyed pretty much every minute of it! It was lighthearted and fun to read. It was extremely realistic and a nice blend of cute romance and holidays. I recommend everyone give this a read if they’re looking for a refreshing read to end their year!
