Just the kind of Christmas book I needed, it's just so sweet and fluffy. It is so funny to, especially Arlo. He comes out with some funny one-liners and he is such a sassy, sweetheart.
Arlo has liked Jack for years. It's thanks to seeing a sweaty, young Jack, that Arlo figured out his sexuality. Jack is his brothers Tom's, best friend. He saw Jack as unattainable and that doesn't change. They end up sharing a room when they go to Amsterdam and end up sharing a room. As they spend time together, their attraction to each other grows. I loved how they are together, they just compliment each other so well. Arlo is just so good for Jack, he embraces his quirks and they are just a perfect match. They just click and they definitely do in the bedroom. They are just as open and honest in the bedroom as out of it. Their sex scenes just add to the book and aren't thrown in willy nilly!
The secondary characters are the best, especially Tom and Bee, he boyfriend. Watching Tom get-up the nerve to propose was funny and his eventual proposal was epic. He really did make it perfect in his own way! I didn't like Steven one bit, he was a jumped up little sod! I loved it when he got taken down a peg or too, he deserved it! He parents are only spoke about and I want to shout at them. They will so not be winning parents of the year!
The book overall was so fluffy and there is really not angst. They talk and so problems don't crop up, they communicate! That book made me smile and laughter, mainly at poor Arlo, he just doesn't have an indoor voice. The ending was perfect for them and it was just a perfect Christmas read...so much fluff!
