This short novella takes place on Christmas Day & we get a chapter POV from each of the Spring siblings (Tori, Charlie, & Oliver). As always, I can never get enough of this world and characters. This story focuses on the first Christmas after Nick learns about Charlie’s eating disorder & Charlie is back home after receiving in patient care. It’s a learning process for the whole family as Charlie readjusts and also dealing with extended families. I love the focus this story gave to the sibling dynamic of Tori & Charlie. Very sweet!
