The Christmas Ornament by D.L. Gallie

5.0

THIS WAS SOOOO GOOD. 
i think this has been my favorite of the entire series thus far - I may have said it before, but def this one. 

The banter was absolutely everything! I loved the best friend banter between Sab and Ruby, but the banter didn’t stop with them.. Between Ruby and Maddox the banter was so good too. 

I loved all the characters, their relationships between them and i loved seeing Dennis and Sidney in this one too. I truly love Evergreen Lake and will be so sad when the series is over! 

I LOVE a best friend’s brother/sister  with a MATURE best friend. I loved that Sab was secretly all for Maddox and Ruby getting together. OH & not just best friend’s brother - but ITS ALWAYS BEEN YOU WITH NO CHEATING 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 We love to see it. 

I even didn’t hate Joel’s character fully. Once we saw his development at the end, i felt like he was redeemable too. 

The spice was top tier too! it didn’t feel cringy and wasn’t over the top or unrealistic imo! 

Absolutely 10/10 recommend this one being read within the series or by itself! def pick it up! I will absolutely be diving deeper into to this author now too!
