Kind of hated this lmao. Writing wasn’t great, lots of typing errors (not typos, whole words repeated or misplaced), cheesy Christmas-related metaphors (felt like I was getting hit over the head with it). The riddles felt like they were only solvable if you were a character in the story, not a reader (bc you needed insider info). The deaths were ridiculous. Hard to believe by the end. Shame the bi representation had to be with such annoying/ unlikable characters.
