Perfect for fans of Alexandria Bellefleur's Written in the Stars, this is a character-driven holiday romance that has great LGBTQ and mental health representation.
I loved The Charm Offensive, but this one didn't really work for me. The humor, the pacing, the sensory descriptors, the love triangle — none of it really landed for me. But it might be just your thing! Plus, there's a quirky supportive cast and a lovely found family, beautifully angsty and honest character development, realistic livelihood struggles, plenty of sensual descriptions of forearms and half-moon smiles, and the magic of fresh snowfall and bookstore meet cutes. Plenty of people are going to absolutely love this story, and I'm happy for them.
