Nick and Noel's Christmas Playlist by Codi Hall

4.0

This book was so cozy from the get-go. I swear, I fell into it immediately!
Nick and Noel are best friends, and now that Nick is back from serving his country, there are sparks flying between the two of them that they cannot ignore. The chemistry between them is wonderful; it's my favorite part of friends to lovers. They already have the established relationship, it is simply a matter of taking the leap to the next level.
Noel dealt with a lot that left her terrified of relationships, but Nick is with her every step of the way. He never pressures her, but he's also not afraid to let her know when she's being unreasonable and pushing him away. The way he walks that line is precious because they are family right from the start of the novel. His family took her in when her parents died, and they grew up together and became very close. As their relationship grows, that part of it never changes though her fear is that it will. Nick spends the book convincing her that even if they were to have a bad breakup, his family would still love her and so would he.
It is really touching to watch the two of them, and also super fun to see them tease each other and their other friends.
It was a super great romcom, and the addition of their playlist at the end was genius!
