Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in return for an honest review!
This was an enjoyable, tropical (and snowy) slow-burn romance. The honeymoon parts made it a fun escape and the chemistry between the leads were cute.
That said, Elsie’s character was hard to connect with at times—her decisions and attitude felt frustrating, which made rooting for her a challenge. However, the story’s humor and tropes still shined through. It had:
- best friends to lovers
- curvaceous body representation
- baby queer experiences
- non-binary main character
- slow-burn
- vacation romance
- unrequited Love
- surprisingly, lots of detailed spice which rare in a book like this
Overall, it’s a great read for romance fans who enjoy drama, humor, and a little bit of chaos along the way!
