Taylor Swift songs: “Last Christmas” (Taylor Swift version), “Afterglow”, “fearless (tv)”, and “sparks fly”

I loved all of the Taylor Swift references in this!!! Also, I didn’t think I was a fan of messy romances, but this was such a fun sapphic holiday romance!! Like falling in love with a woman one Christmas, then getting separated, only to enter into a marriage of convenience with a man from work so he can get his inheritance money, and going to his family’s Christmas for his sister to be the woman you fell in love with last Christmas?? Genius!! It caused so much drama, and I was living for it!! 

I loved both of the characters so much, they were so real and raw, but so lovable and compelling. These characters truly belong together, like I believe that with my whole heart. I loved seeing these imperfect characters find themselves and find love and true acceptance in each other.

There was so much rep, not only LGBTQIA+ but also mental health wise!! 

Age rating: 16+ (a few spicy scenes, maybe 1/5🌶️)
