This was a very cute and cozy read. A love triangle is always fun but this book throws a complete curveball at the end! I loved it!

Loggia writes a magically perfect Christmas spirited book! The pacing throughout the entire book was fast and very enjoyable. I loved all the characters and related to them too!
I totally swooned over Jacob's gift to Bailey in the last chapter, wishing I could receive such a sentimental gift like that! I was very surprised at the twist ending, but also thrilled!! This story was not what I expected...
It was even better!

This book was cute. I felt like it was a little all over the place though. ThTs why I gave it 3 stars. It was an easy, quick read though.

A story to take you back to the excitement of your younger years. High school boyfriends, best friends, love and…….. Christmas. Bailey shares my passion for Christmas. It was so much fun to see Baileys excitement around her families traditions and other families stories and all things Christmas movies… this is a great read. It went fast and I loved the Characters. Things are not always what they seem at Christmas..

I haven’t started a finished a book in one day in forever, but this book was SO good I just could not put it down. Love triangle trope - check, magical surprise - check, Christmas activities - check!

Cute and very predictable—this is one of those holiday romances where it's clear from the second you know there are two potential love interests which one it's going to be. I also prefer my fluffy holiday reads to get smarter over the years, and I'm not convinced that this really goes there. Yes, it's nice to see characters acknowledge that it's fine to be interested in more than one person at once, but—I'd like to see at least lip service to diversity (race, class, sexuality, body type, disability, whatever), and we don't get that here.

This is a fun holiday read for all ages, though the main characters are teenagers. I enjoyed Bailey and getting to go along for the ride during the Christmas season when she wishes to be kissed. Her family and other secondary characters are all interesting and added to the fabric of the story.
