Finally, a good holiday romance! Although, this didn't have nearly as much holiday energy as I expected. I really liked that the main conflicts in this book weren't all centered on the couple and the relationship. Seeing them learning and growing due to things outside of just romance was really nice.
But the pacing was a little weird. This book spans a lot of time, and it makes the story feel almost more like a montage than a continuous tale. The characters have leaps in growth - both individually and in their relationships - as time skips. And it suffers from the same issue as many romances with characters fighting personal traumas; I just didn't believe they'd actually worked through their own issues enough to be healthy in a relationship yet.
Regardless, a cute romance and one I'd recommend for the holiday season.
