I expected this novella to be subpar since we didn’t know the characters and it was so short but it really delivered!
Super cute, loved everything about this friends to lovers story and twelve mini dates leading up to Christmas! So fun! I need to read this author's other series because I'm now all caught up with everything that's been published so far in this series and love her writing style...so much humor and heart!

A faint smile plays on his lips.
“Very good friends?” he says.
I’ve still got my arm around him and I find the spot on the side of his ribs that I know is ticklish. He laughs, trying to jerk out of my grip, but I don’t let him go.
“We are very good friends,” I say. “Aren’t we?”
Weston’s hand comes up to cover mine, stopping my tickle assault. But instead of letting go, he keeps his hand in place.
His caramel eyes meet mine, and for a few beats, all the sounds of the mall fade away. My hand is hot underneath his big palm, so, so hot. The heat travels to my wrist and up the sensitive skin on the inside of my elbow.
Like my last read, this one was also a novella...so I won't be saying toooo much because then I'll spoil everything, and we do NOT want that. I will, however, let y'all know that this short and sweet Christmas romance was WONDERFUL.
The chemistry between these two friends was insaneeeeee and reading about them secretly pining for each other (and getting jealous 😏) was the best kind of torture, lol. And even though all the "holidates" weren't perfect, they were definitely fun and they made it IMPOSSIBLE not to ship Taylor and Weston.
As far as content goes: Any suggestive material/innuendos were pretty minor, so no worries there. No "actual" language (everyone does have different preferences and viewpoints on what counts as profanity though). Also, the term "pimp" was used to describe Weston's mom in a manner that was supposed to be funny, but it honestly just rubbed me the wrong way. There was no on-page sex, but it was talked about/implied between different characters. Cheating does happen (not between the main characters). I think that was everything. 🤔 I would describe the book as a mild "PG-13 romance movie."
If you enjoy cute quick reads with LOTS of humor, then you need to check this one out for sure! And as alwaysssss, I am sooooooo looking forward to the next book!
Oh, and that ending was PRICELESS. 🤣🙌

Cute holiday novella - you know where it's going from the beginning and while there weren't a lot of surprises, it was an enjoyable journey.
(The overall enjoyment might be enhanced if you've read the Love Clichés Sweet RomCom series, which I have not.)
