This is a fantastic homage to “The Gift of the Magi!” The influences are brilliant! A wonderful, quick read that is perfect for the holidays!

Interesting little novella with a classic Freida twist at the end. Quick read but worth the half hour of my life in my opinion.

If anyone was going to make Christmas dark it would be Frieda McFadden and you know what I'm all here for it. I had this book on my TBR for about 6 months and thought it was the perfect time to read it. I sped through it and man was it worth the wait!

the end plot twist made me giggle. i wish we got more info but alas i still love and adore freida’s writing. hopefully this means reading slump over.
