A wonderfully Hallmarkesque Christmas romance. A slight enemies to lovers trope but mostly a brother's best friend trope (which is one of the best imo). Lauren and Will are both pretty closed off people so one of my favorite parts of this story was seeing them learn to trust and open up to one another. We didn't find out what Lauren's issue with Will was until pretty far into the book and I think it did the story a disservice. Some of the things she did felt immature and I may have viewed her actions differently if I knew sooner. The last few chapters absolutely made this book for me. They were just absolutely heartwarming and I loved them.
