Very sweet queer holiday romance, and how novel that it's not even my favourite queer holiday romance that I've read this year. 🤯
The characters are fun and complex but the secondary characters are definitely a bit heavy-handed, and there's sort of a feeling of forced diversity sometimes. As tropey as you'd expect. Kind of hilarious how explicit the sapphic scenes are compared to the fade-to-black of the m/m scenes.
