It’s like if the movie The Santa Clause replaced Scott Calvin with Scott & Calvin, the dynamic gay couple who are currently “wading through a rough patch.”

I was super into the beginning of this story, but the middle dragged through as we were working through that rough patch. Rarely do I wish a plot were different, but I really wanted to follow this couple as they fell into the North Pole & had a great time. Unfortunately, they brought their marriage woes with them, so it took away that Christmas magic for me. A solid holiday novel, but it may be a little too sad for some.
