the blurb says “Joya Goffney delivers..” AND SHE SO FUCKING DID!!
um. I cried btw. WHICH JUST CONFIRMS HOW AMAZING THIS BOOK IS, DOESN’T IT OMFG
I can’t lie, I was kind of sceptical of Reggie at first and even though no one can live up to Carter(he wrote her a letter!!!! I’m weak), he still turned out to be so so soooo sweet that sometimes I just wanted to give him a hug tbh 😭😭 I cannot emphasise how glad I am they have each other (oh I’m already crying (again))
THE MOM THO! THE MOM!!!!!! Pls. Omg i cried 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I love my mom. I just felt the need to say that after reading this.
I won’t lie, the book did kinda drag in the middle for me but that might just be my own problem bc I can’t place my finger on what was wrong exactly. The ending def made up for it tho like omfggggggggggg
IN THE END I WAS SO PROUD OF MY BESTIE MO IDK I CAN’T
I CRIED PROUD TEARS
but also just like normal tears, bc of the stuff with the mom iykyk

roses are red
violets are blue
The author deserves a Nobel price
For the most random plot I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading

I will now name my child Min Sori.
anyway: 3 stars for a cute, lighthearted read, and 0.5 extra points for being set in Korea and having me miss everything there violently!!

So, This Is Christmas by Tracy Andreen
Did not finish book. Stopped at 65%.

2023 will be the year for me to finally get clean of all those boring books I’ll never finish in my life!
While I did quite enjoy “So, this is Christmas” the first (and last) time I picked it up a year (A YEAR!!! LITERALLY!!) ago, it just doesn’t interest me enough anymore. I think Christmas romances are just not for me in general tbf.
if ur in for a little cheesy but cute romance though, I’d recommend!
