Piper went through a lot, awful experience in high school years and decade of drinking alcohol. Now Piper is widow recovering alcohol had been pulled into planning for high school reunion with Marble Man Fitz, her high school bully’s best friend! 


There are a lot of important keys in the book. It included but not limited to mental health, self-acceptance, growth, confidence, and processing of loss loved one are great blend into one book so far. Both main characters have their own problems to deal with and it’s great balance. 


Seriously, I did enjoyed every parts and all characters in the book. The author Thea Claire did great job and I can’t wait to read more of her books in future. Thank you Claire for trusting me with your book early. You nailed it.

This was definitely a fun and quick holiday read that I was able to devour in one sitting. The pacing in the book was lovely and had me easily flipping to the next page to get more of characters of Nick and Scarlett's story. It is emotional but also comforting in good ways. 

I wasn't sure about the character Scarlett at the beginning of this book, but once her backstory was explained, it will be nice if it had mentioned in beginning to understand Scarlett little better. Nick, on the other hand, was loveable throughout the entirety of the book. Your typical sweet sexy guy next door, who is exactly what the FMC doesn't realize, is exactly what she needs.

Overall, the book was a sweet and clean romantic book success for me and hit all my holiday feel-good spots. The loving dogs add an extra touch of warmth to this closed-door romance delightful story.

 If you want to read a great Christmas story then read Tiny Home for Christmas.it is perfect for busy people who want to read and quickly as well. Holidays are busy season so it’s perfect book!

Thank you, NetGalley and Publisher for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

Very long break from reading in general due health crisis past years so I don’t want to restart it all over again so I move on with fresh start! 💚
