This was a unique, fun Christmas read!
I listened to the audiobook and I thought both narrators really captured their character really well. They both did a great job at their own characters, well also managing to make whenever the voiced the opposite character in their chapter work well.
I thought Patrick and Quinn were both good characters, and liked that they could actually be frustrating and unlikable at times. It made them seem more real to have flaws. I could have probably done with a bit less miscommunication, but it wasn’t to the point that I would stop reading. I don’t think the side characters were really fleshed out enough, which is too bad because I would have loved to see more of Blizzard and Patrick’s brother.
The ending did not end how I thought it would, but I appreciate that it was showing that marriages and relationships don’t have to all work the same way.
Overall this was a cute, Christmas romance and I loved all the queer representation.
