This was a cute Christmas queer rom com! I appreciated seeing a FMC working through her mental health (anxiety), and I think that brought more depth to her character and the plot. I loved Andrew and Jack's family and thought the Snow Day interludes were super cute (their meet cue was adorbs). Overall, it was cutesy and had some over the top tropes, but felt like it went a bit deeper with allowing the main characters to show emotional vulnerability.

Please note: the emotional abuse and toxic relationship do NOT refer to the main relationship, but to a relationship between one of the character's and their mom. The child abuse refers to flashbacks/memories discussed of the character's childhood.

"I’m not quirky. I have generalized anxiety disorder"

I should've DNFd this after the 3rd chapter like I wanted to. The weird writing style was a red flag from the beginning. Then the berating of an anxious 20 something woman with a shitty upbringing sealed the deal. Like to fit in with the rich family, you must change everything about yourself, otherwise you are a "Frozen burrito".
 I dunno, this book just didn't hit with me. Even the shit I could relate to felt off.
