A beautiful second chance romance with some serious forced proximity! Five years after Brighton left Charlotte at the altar, they end up staying with the same family at Christmas and are forced to confront their painful past.
This was definitely not the lighthearted holiday romance that I expected! Charlotte and Brighton are both deeply flawed and it was frustrating at times to read their poor decisions, but it was also amazing to see them grow throughout the book. I also really loved the lessons in friendship this book imparted!
Overall, it was a bit of a heavier book than I expected, but Ashley Herring Blake just does such an incredible job of making things feel so raw and real that I can’t even be mad about it 🤷🏼♀️ she is quickly becoming an auto-read author for me and I’d recommend her books always!
