Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Honestly one of my favorite... Idk niches (is that the right word?), Microtropes? What ever you want to call it, is books/movies about the making of a movie/TV show/content maker, ECT. Behind the scenes stuff you know? I love it because it's almost like getting two different stories for the price of one lol.
Holly Jolly July hits that check mark for me in the happiest little Sapphic Hallmark Christmas movie style ever!
Ellie's character breaks my heart, always playing second fiddle (or trumbone) and never getting to have the spotlight is hard on anyone and she takes it in stride always being cheerful and bubbly while holding it inside. And Mariah is a grumpy stormcloud with a secret heart of gold who just wants to be herself and be accepted for it.
The banter between these two is absolutely phenomenal and their relationship grows so organically. Reading along as these two slowly realize just how deeply in love they are with each other As the story progresses was so much fun and by the end of the story I was in tears!
What to expect:
🎄 Grumpy x Sunshine
🎄 Workplace Romance
🎄 Hallmark Christmas vibes
🎄 Cheating F**ck boys
🎄 MF & FF romance
