idk if it just took me forever to read it or what but i feel like this book had some forgettable moments. i loved it, don’t get me wrong, but i do feel like some parts blended together too much or were overall forgettable. also towards the end russ felt like he was narrating the end of a 90’s coming of age movie.

This was a good holiday read. I've never read a dark Christmas romance before so this was a fun one to try out. Not as dark as I would've hoped personally.

has some great information about how to run a campaign. i will definitely be using some of it for my campaign at work and hopefully in a future campaign at home. not all of it is relevant to every campaign or game format but it does a great job of recognizing that and saying that it may not all be necessary for every party
