Noelle and Kane have been hiding in their friendship for years, both of them harboring a secret love, both of the afraid of ruining what they have. But Noelle is home for Christmas, after years away and it's time to shit or get off the pot.
Okay, so first, KB writes friends to lovers so affectionate and comfortable it's always a wonder they aren't already together. I love this, because if it's one thing I can't stand, it's somebody claiming a best friend and acting awkward around them. Noelle and Kane were too cute for words. I love that Noelle made her dreams come true, and she never felt held back or unsupported. I love the way she and Kane kept their relationship alive. The family ties and holiday hijinks were great and I like how everyone simply encouraged them to act on what was already known. Noelle and Kane didn't take too long and as scared as they might have been, their friendship allowed truth telling and understanding so they didn't run away from each other. Good job.
