Cute and wholesome story line. Extremely similar to The Hating Game.

“ I just think it’ll be pretty damn impossible not to love the holidays just a little, now that I get to share them with yo”

funny hopeful lighthearted

i adored this book omfg i'm screaming shaking sobbing novellas really do it for me

Super cute novella. Perfect for the holidays! The characters, the banter, and the cozy vibes of the bookstore were perfect!


It was cute and neurodiverse

Crying while trying to highlight your kindle is hard.
But someone has to do it.

Perfect book to get in the holiday spirit!!

I loved this book, it had grumpy Jonathan X sunshine Gabriella. Enemies to Lovers-Coworkers, alot of well written romance and a lot of Christmas!

Christmas cookies, Christmas shirts, Christmas music and Christmas decorations. What else do you need honestly?

And the grumpy was a hockey player!?! I’m very doubtful that you wouldn’t notice if your coworker is huge af. I mean, have you seen the built of a hockey player??? Because Gabby, girl, she had no clue about anything.

And the second hand embarrassment I felt so many times throughout this reading. I can’t.
But in the best possible way!

Jonathan’s SIRI voice! *starts to sweat*
And Jonathan is probably the most romantic character ever. He checked off everything on the list. He said everything right! At least after his frost heart thawed a little ;) Goddamn! And Hotdamn. *swooning*

I have never been so vocal reading a book. I laughed, I hid behind my hoodie, I stomped happily with my feet. I cried. I scream-cried because this book was so cute!!

It’s only one POV. I always wish we got some POV from the grumpy in these kind of books. I love to hear the inner monologue when the guy falls first.

Honestly, still 5/5 but this is the first book I would survive without the smut. The story was strong on it’s own with the great slow burn. The characters were so loveable that I was rooting for them without needing to have a sex scene.

I’m so excited to read more from this author, I have so many books on my TBR from her!

this took me a while to finish, but jonathangabbie is honestly cute and sweet (with a touch of grumpiness)
