So cute! So sweet! So lovely!!! What a perfect read to end my year! The first year I'm back to reading as regularly as I used to when I was a kid, before reading was made un-fun. (A black girl discovering her love of books? A black girl trying to figure out what to do with her life? A black girl who says she only read a book if she already watched and liked the movie it was based on? As a cinema major, MOOD!) It has a cheesy sweet Hallmark / Netflix Christmas / romance movie feel, so it's very fun, and all the tropes are so well done! I have no complaints! I wanna buy it and pre-order any and all following books by Shauna Robinson! What a treat!!!
