December Midnights by Victoria Wilder
3.0
This was super cute! It’s like if Practical Magic was a Christmas book basically lol. This was actually my first Victoria Wilder and I was pleasantly surprised. I like her writing quite a bit and I definitely want to read more of her work now - I’m lookin’ at you Bourbon and Lies haha.
My only issues were that I’m not an insta love girl, and while it is more common in novellas and I can usually handle it, the insta love here was way too much for me. The FMC also ended up getting way too pushy and cringe for me in the third act when the MMC started to question things - homegirl needed to cool the crazy a touch lol. The only other real problem was the use of the word frosting in regard to some very particular bodily fluids. I didn’t think I’d be adding that one to my ick list buuuut here we are. Gross.
If you’re an insta love and Practical Magic kinda girlie, you’ll absolutely eat this up and I would definitely recommend it. Not about the insta love? Well, don’t say I didn’t warn ya lol. Overall it was a cute, quick holiday read and I did have fun with it!
