Hannah and Finn met in college arms spent a magical Christmas together as the only people left on campus. They became the best of friends and eventually added Priya and Theo to their club. Fancy Christmas, dive bar Christmas, awkward family Christmas, until finally, the last Christmas as Finn is moving away.

This is ultimately a story about learning to grieve loss and how magical friendship can be. It's a good story, but was ultimately kind of slow and didn't wow me.

3.5 stars. A pretty good holiday rom com with a unique friend group theme rather than just a couple. A lot of pop culture references that I appreciated as a millennial haha.

I adored this book. Normally don’t love stuff like this but I’m glad I picked it up. It was funny, slightly dramatic, minimally cheesy and filled with ups and downs and lots of pop culture references. I felt attached to the characters and loved them all. My only critique was the end was slightly cringe when everything wrapped up and it could’ve ended a little sooner

I can’t believe I’m giving a Christmas book 5 stars but this book was everything. Found family, growing up, Christmases in New York. Hannah and Finn are the ultimate best friends and found family. My heart feels so full.
