A Cross-Country Christmas by Courtney Walsh
4.0
"Yeah, I feel super sorry for you that you have to be locked in a car with a guy that looks like Chris Evans <I>after</I> the super soldier serum."
Well this tugged my heartstrings, and it was a joy to read because the journey from 'no, I don't want to ride with my brother's best friend who has no idea he broke my heart' to 'this road trip isn't too bad and maybe my heart can be pieced back together' was so much more. During the road trip a long buried issue comes to light and I just appreciated Lauren and Will's easy going banter, vibe and the gradual romance that left me happy sighing. This was charming, heartwarming and an absolute comfort read.
"But if the stars align and things work out, the first time I kiss this woman is going to be because I want to --not because some tradition told me I had to."
Read if you like:
- dual pov's
- reverse grumpy x sunshine
- brother's best friend
- second chance romance
- forced proximity
- found family
- only one bed
- Hallmark Christmas vibes
- grace, love & second chances
- 🌶 sweet kisses
Number of times Steph got teary eyed? Four. Sadly, no Will to wipe them away for me.
cw: alcohol abuse, parental neglect
