I’m not a mega romance girly at heart but this one was sweet and made me swoon.

You’ve Got Mail vibes 💌
Grumpy/sunshine ☀️
Autism/T1D representation 🎧
Enemies to Lovers 🥰
Slow burn 🔥

I’m not a big fan of smut when it overrides the plot and it’s just sex back to back to back. I need some plot in between. So needless to say I could’ve done without the majority of the last two chapters. But other than that it was a good read!!

If you’re looking for a quick romantic read for the holidays, this is it! I absolutely loved this novel and I am now claiming it as my comfort book🥰 I should have saved it for Christmas but hey, I’ll just read it again!

Gabby and Jonathan are 10/10 on the cuteness scale, I love them endlessly!

This novella was perfect. 1000 stars to this book. I adored it. These characters are fantastic and their story is funny, charming, and hopelessly romantic.

This is a new favorite story of all time. I loved it so much. The autistic representation was spot on. I felt so seen. And it made me feel really hopeful too 🥺

Things I loved in no particular order:
- it’s set in an indie bookstore & there are literary references
- he’s grumpy she’s sunshine
- forced proximity; coworkers where he’s the only other coworker
- she’s got an online friend that she confides in and has never met but he lives in her city

- HES THE ONLINE FRIEND
- he fiGURES OUT he’s the online friend
- the bookshop is sinking, he finds a way to save it & keep both their jobs

- she’s autistic and he loves her for who she fully is!!!
- THE BANTER
- he has to prove to her that he’s there to support her and she starts to TRUST HIM
- he’s just so gentle and protective and
- she’s demisexual and he’s equally as emotionally driven as she is (rather than one track kind about sex)
- AAAAAHHHHHHH

This book had one of my favourite set-ups for romance: he’s been pining forever, there’s a You’ve Got Mail twist, AND there’s the perfect amount of jealousy from the hero. As well as this, it’s super Christmassy. I think a bookshop in wintertime is automatically so, but add in a Christmas sales competition and decorating and themed events, and it becomes even more so.

While I was really enjoying the romance, it lost me in the end. Some of the language ended up being a little TOO cringey for my liking, I wanted the love declaration to go a little differently, and I don’t think the epilogue should have been set 9 years later.

As a side note, the playlist the author includes for the book was a WONDERFUL addition. It really set the atmosphere for each chapter and enhanced the Christmassyness.
