I enjoyed going back to Christmas Notch for this story. I enjoyed Winnie's story of trying to shed her old self and learning who she is now after shedding those old preconceived notions. If anything I wish maybe we leaned into that a bit more? Don't get me wrong, a sexual awakening is always fun but seemed like her new self revolved around orgasms a lot lol. Kallum was a fun love interest too. I still feel like some things were over dramatized to create conflict? While other things that should have been seen as actual problems to work through were kind of just glossed over without a proper conversation. But all in all it was a cute book!
