I‘m working on my TBR pile, that‘s why i‘m ready a christmas novella in february. 

Cute book. I had fun. Can recommend.

this was really cute! i don't really gravitate towards novellas but i was trying to avoid a book slump before it came (hoping that worked) so it's what i needed today. i actively avoid holiday romances but it wasn't too obnoxious with the christmas stuff in this book. enemies/rivals to lovers would work better in a full-length book imo because there's time for a more natural development but i still enjoyed this! the characters don't have much depth and they're pretty frustrating but overall it was a fun and easy read.

Great to have neurodiverse characters

far too little hockey (

This book is just not long enough, I feel like everything needed to be more developed to hit, for me, emotionally - and Jonathan needed more than one pov. But also I can't really be mad about anything that happened? It was just all over too quickly and there wasn't much tension. 

This is a reread as well cause I was trying to remember the story and I don't think it will stick with me this time either 😅
