A review by sterling_sapphic_reads
Home for the Holidays by Erin Zak

4.0

So what happens when Zac takes his lesbian roommate home as his fake girlfriend for Christmas because he's still in the closet to his family when said roommate has a thing for older women?! A stellar recipe for a fantastic age-gap, instalove, MILF joy! This was a fantastic holiday read. Perfect way to kick off the holiday season and oh am I ready for it. This was very much the perfect blend of sapphic hallmark vibes that flirts with an R rating. This is a hot mess express, laugh-out-loud funny, steamy queer family romcom that had some complexities I wasn't expecting. This was just a fun, light read (even with the heavier topics of self-acceptance and family healing) that brought me so much joy. A perfect holiday read!
I absolutely adored Heidi and Iris. Zac's whole family was utterly charming and I was obsessed with Maddie (because omg she's so precious).

Okay - also - confession: When I read Iris' name in this book, The Holiday film just ran free in my mind, and when Zak made mention of it in the book I legit laughed out loud.

Thank you to the author for an Advanced Reader's Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
