A fun holiday romcom on that involves fake dating (but not between who you think), two second chance romances, and learning to love both yourself and other people.
All in all, Alison Cochrun showed again that she can write deeply flawed characters who are in desperate need of help and growth, and who eventually find that.
The MC faces quite a few issues that I've had to confront myself with all the pain and hardship that has come with that. It's not easy to admit that you're biggest obstacle in life is you yourself.
This book did take a little bit to get going for me, but once it did, I really enjoyed the reading experience. The characters were fun and loveable, the plot moved well, and the representation of both queerness and disability made for a fun festive read.
