Thank you Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for the ALC!
- I highly rec this for anyone else who loved watching Love, Actually, but has recently been struggling with some of the issues with many of the plots (like how weird the cue card Kiera Knightly plot is or how many fat jokes there were about the Prime Minister's love interest)
- One thing I struggled with was the pacing/spicyness-the first story is very spicy, but the next few tone it down a lot. The second half felt well balanced with the stories having less jarring pacing differences and steam levels.
- I loved the way this built upon Love, Actually, and I had so much fun trying to figure out which stories were which plots. It was so satisfying to see some of the stories improve so much because of the changes made in this version!
- I wasn't a fan of how many of the spicy scenes included the "I usually take an hour to climax but you've got me there just with one touch" trope. It's not a bad trope, but it was a bit repetitive by the end.
- There's so many characters between all the stories, and I loved so many of them. It can be tricky to get invested in a character in such a short amount of time, but there were so many that I fell in love with in just a few pages!
- I loved the way we saw Nochebuena through each story! The way each story spoke about the traditions and the food/drink that were important to each person was such a great way to really learn about the way it's celebrated!
