This is cute a wholesome m/m book with some unexpected 🌶 spice. 
Gideon and Paul are the definition of the sunshine/grumpy trope and enemy to lovers neighbours 👀 

Gideon Holiday adores Christmas and takes it very seriously, trying to get the community into the spirit of it. 
Paul Frost lives on his own with his dog Jim. He doesn’t enjoy Christmas and never decorates his house but it all changes when his brother announces that he is coming come for the holidays.

Both Gideon and Paul have their own struggles with loneliness and come together in an unexpected way.

It is a book not only about Christmas and love but also about community, friendship and childhood/teenager years healing ✨ 

It’s such a funny (with some emotional parts) story and made me smile throughout book. I especially liked the detail of the messages from the community app that show up at the beginning of each chapter.
