trigger warnings: financial stress, cancer, death of parent, sexual content, alcohol

Chelsea M Cameron books are always a hit of serotonin. They're short and sweet and smutty. The emotional progress was a little haphazard but I've come to love that as a Chelsea M Cameron quirk so I kinda anticipate and appreciate it now. Really cute Christmas read.

4.0

This was a thoroughly enjoyable sapphic romance. I really appreciated how there was little to no tension involved, as this added to the cosy and Christmassy vibes the book already had. The relationship between Colden and Laura evolved very organically which made the whole thing believable. I liked that Colden was a demigirl, and also a massive bookworm. Also, including Minnie the pig was a stroke of genius. The reason that this book is 4 and not 5 stars is because the writing style was a little sloppy, like poorly-written fanfiction at times. I could mostly see beyond this but the book could have benefitted from a proper edit.
