A review by booknerderika
Love in Winter Wonderland by Abiola Bello

lighthearted reflective fast-paced

This was a sweet story of the power of community and others showing up for one another. 

As for the romance, I'm not a fan of stories of people in relationships falling for someone else. There was borderline cheating going on just by the flirting

and almost kissing.

I understand the toxic relationship aspect but I still don't think that justifies the behavior. 

I'm glad Trey made the mature decision in the end even though it was hard. That alone is representation we need more of in books. 

I still enjoyed the book, I just felt uncomfortable with how Trey was in a relationship with someone else

for almost the entire book.
