Thanks so much to the publisher and Netgalley for providing an e-ARC of this book! I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did, but it was absolutely fantastic!
Bee and Clover were both wonderfully written and fleshed out, even though they only had half the screen time each, as the book alternated between them. I adored the different ways they approached the world and their new environments. The Holiday-inspired books are always great, but this one captured the beauty of the holidays in two places I've never been and made me love them just like the characters did.
The side characters made this book for me because they were so lovely and opened their lives to Bee and Clover, respectively. Jimmy was such a fantastic father figure, and I loved how he interacted with Bee and how much he adored Clover.
The romances here were fairly fast-paced since the book was as well, yet I believed them whole-heartedly!
This book made me tear up and laugh so many times! I just loved it so much!! Go buy this one!!!
