I loved to root against spoiled Matthew Prince right from the beginning. But as he opens up to the other characters, including his new handsome roommate Hector, I found myself cheering him on! A charming love story that had me laughing, worried, and even crying. Love the GAD rep, as well as the diverse queer characters!

Cute and fun holiday romance! Loved the Schitt’s Creek vibes and really enjoyed getting to have a classic holiday rom-com with lots of queer folks in the lead. No other thoughts— nothing groundbreaking, just a good time and a perfect holiday read. Points removed for the overuse of the word dude, though. 

Actually! One additional thought: This kind of felt like what Paris Daillencourt could have been like or  wanted to be. They both feature rich gay leads with absent parents and anxiety disorders, but Matthew Prince dealt with it in a much better way and much stronger writing.

I loved this book so much! It was a cute Christmas read that also dealt with topics such as anxiety and depression.

Well, I'll be darned if the small-town romance didn't thaw my stone-cold heart and make it grow three sizes. 5 stars. Only cause I'm feeling sappy.

This was absolutely everything I wanted from my first holiday romance book and more. I laughed, I nearly cried. I felt seen with this one. The Muppet Christmas Carol is indeed the best holiday film ever. 

Many out there have criticisms of this novel, and I completely understand why. I don’t read much romance, and this was my first holiday romance. So, I’m not familiar with many of the tropes used in romance novels. This likely gave me a more favorable impression. However, I can’t deny that I absolutely adored this book. We deserve cheesy (holiday) romances, too!
