This was a cute, enjoyable, seasonal rom-com read. I loved the characters and I liked seeing how each of them grew on their own and how their budding relationship grew alongside that personal development. Ultimately, this was a fun read that I very much enjoyed, but not one of a kind (which isn’t always a bad thing).
