I actually started this after Christmas and finished it on New Years Day - the perfect time to read a Christmasy book...🫣 
 
Timing aside, I absolutely adored this book. Honestly it's hard to find a sapphic book that's not tacky and cheesy. This one though, was so good! 
 
It's a rom-com style book that starts on Christmas Eve 2021 and then jumps to the run up to Christmas in 2022. It's so cute, funny and most of all, relatable. 
 
I loved it and i'll definitely be rereading this Christmas!

it's okay. I had a hard time getting into it because we didn't really learn much of the characters and their personalities. it seems as far as the author is concerned being queer IS their personalities which feels a bit like a mockery. I did enjoy the wlw love story and all of that and it was well written. but it also feels like the author felt the need to put every LGBTQ+ joke that she could fit into the book, into the book ya know? it was almost a huge cliche. it just felt like trying too hard. but I did enjoy it and it was cute at times. (and I'm a fellow LGBTQ+ member so don't think I'm like a straight person bashing this thekgks)

This was a very cute, very quick SAPPHIC 🥰 holiday romance, and I'm glad I picked it up. The Portland vibes were strong, and the found family aspects were adorable. There were just a few icks that I didn't love.

Portland themed Christmas LGBTQIA+ romance. The Portland bits were mostly spot on, a bit exaggerated or unrealistic in parts (like how Jack's truck doesn't have heat... you need heat if you live in Portland, this isn't SoCal). Overall the Portland bits added some humor.

Interesting base concept - a fake/marriage of convenience made messy by a literal love trapezoid. Told in two timelines, a flashback of 1 year ago and present time.

Jack is an angel and should be protected. I didn't love the main POV character Ellie. I mean she's been through some shit, but also she is just a mess. I personally related a lot more to Jack who has some wonderful lines and sage advice.

The romance was pretty good, but the ending was very fast and abrupt and
there is no epilogue or definitive HEA so it felt honestly a bit unfinished. I read the last chapter and turned the page expecting more...
