“I like books and tea more than I like clubs and margaritas.” 

Nory, you are me and I am you. 

While reading this book there were so many instances where I squealed with delight! It’s a wonderfully written closed door romance that takes place in a small English town. We follow Nory Noel and her group of  friends while they are all busy falling in love and some of them making a real mess of it. 

The book is  very diverse with LGBTQIA+ characters, different ethnicities, and body types. A breath of fresh air. Thank you Jenny Bayliss for delivering once again.

I really enjoyed Meet Me Under the Mistletoe. Nory was a fun main character and I found that I could really relate to her. Her family and friends were equally charming. The plot was enjoyable, had parts that I knew were coming and other parts that took me by surprise. It would have been nice to have a content warning about Tristan and his off the page suicide so I could have been better prepared or maybe have saved the book for a different time to read, but overall it was a great book.
