"Such a good holiday read 😌🤌♥️"

RanchyFinch

"I liked this book but there are two things you should know if you are thinking about reading this. 1. This has a lot of angst for a Christmas romance. 2. The word “dude” was used 80 times according to my Kindle… 80 times. Imagine a big build up and it being something along the lines of “I love you dude.” 🫠 Do what you want with that tidbit. "

"Just finished this one! It was delightfully cheesy, while also addressing serious topics, like mental health and the stigma surrounding it. Overall, I loved it! Anyone read it and have thoughts? 💚"

"This book was so adorable! Even though I read it in summer, it brought the warm and joy of a Christmas season to life. I thought Matthew's journey was really well done and I loved the anxiety representation. The anxiety attacks and the stigma were really well done and as someone with anxiety, I felt really seen. Hector was amazingly sweet along with the grandparents and Noelle (and other supporting characters). "

"While I wasn't a fan of the drug references, the rest of the book had plenty of chemistry, good characterization, and a delightfully cheesy Christmas plotline that I adored. Definitely recommend!🎄❤️✨"

"If you liked the Aristotle and Dante books, or “And They Lived”, you’re gonna love this. It’s a bit of an irritating start, frankly, but as you get a few chapters in, you realize that was intentional on the author’s part. It had me in tears at the end. The character development was unparalleled and I plan on reading it again next Christmas "

"4.5 stars!"

"The slowest paced book I have probably read in a long while….. Though the first line is iconic and slaps and if you think anything else, don’t read this… s’il vous plaît “I just bought an island, no big deal.”"
