Extremely cute single POV, no spice Yuletide flavored romantic comedy about a down on her luck influencer (late 20s) and a physical embodiment of secular holiday cheer (think Ghost of Christmas Present, but no time "one night" limit.)
Our narrator Betty is designed with rough edges and serious problems- fairly celeb culture focused. There is a solid chance you'll fall in love with Hall, King of the Soft Boys, very quickly.
Magic system is sort of a whimsical Disney/Hallmark movie mash-up and that's totally fine.
There's a lot of pop culture references and some cartoon physics, so it won't be for everyone.
Narrator: Tavia Gilbert does a great job voice acting. The energy is high, the voices are solid, and the prose has some Sam Bee-esque energy that's really charming.
