A review by verumsolum
Home for the Holidays by Erin Zak

4.75

This book was ever-so-nearly perfect. Maybe I should let loose and call it that. Because the premise and some of how it happens is kind of cheesy. Tropes that felt predictable and like they'd be at home on a sit-com. But despite that, I found that I cared about the characters, and so many of their interactions were so perfect that I couldn't gallop through this book: I had to read it a chapter at a time, because I wanted to live in their interactions, wanted to savor each stage of their getting to the point which seemed inevitable from the first time they met. (That said, I think I started that slow pace earlier, given the roommate trials before they traveled for the holiday.)

Very glad I've read this, even if it took me a few days into January to finish it!
