All I Want For Christmas by Clare Lydon

Disappointing

The book started pretty well, it was cute and Christmas-y and the failed dates were embarrassingly hilarious. But then the 'almost' girl from the past showed up and the main character turned completely unlikable. Her obsession with her teenage crush was irritating at best. I wish the story was more focused on the relationship that actually turned out to be the right one instead of putting it in the back until probably around 3/4 into the book and then rush it.

This was quite repetitive sadly. My main gripe though is how quickly the characters assumed someones sexuality. If a character has been in f/m relationships previously, them now being in a sapphic or achillean relationship doesn't mean they're then gay or lesbian. Most media making even queer stories binary(to the point where they make a big deal about sapphics having been in f/m relationships previously etc) makes me tired and I don't want it. I might read more by this author, but this was not it

Not being a Christmas-sy person, I was skeptical about reading this book, but I ended up quite liking it. Christmas romance read on Christmas eve. Although I kind of saw the ending coming a couple chapters into the book, the journey Tori took in her quest for a Christmas girlfriend was very entertaining.

Short, sweet, Christmassy: Clare Lydon made Christmas gay and she did it well. The perfect antidote to finals stress.
