I was so excited to read this book when I saw Courtney Milan recommend it on Twitter and the premise sounded so good. It's about Angelica, a young Black woman who wants to have her own jewelry store and be independent, and Jonathan, who is a traveler after adventure. It's set in a small town Cressmouth that has a nickname Christmas, and tourists come there every year for a wonderful jolly Christmas time.

I, unfortunately, didn't really connect to the characters much. There was no tension between them and nothing that made me feel like they belonged together. Though there were some cute moments and I really liked the setting since it was really cozy and Christmassy.

It wasn't really for me, but it's under 200 pages so it was still really quick to read, so I'd recommend you give it a try if you want a sweet and cozy story. There's no smut at all in it, nothing explicit, so if that's something you're looking for, then check this book out.
