This Winter is such a realistic and serious yet cute take on the holidays. I loved it. The portrayal of mental illness felt so real, as did the characters. Tori, Charlie, and Nick were as loveable as always and I appreciated the little cameo of Oliver too - he’s so sweet! Not to mention cute little Henry the dog. It is definitely one of the best novellas ever.
