A cosy diverse christmas contemporary romance? Bring it on!
#LoveinWinterWonderland is about Ariel and Trey, two socially polar opposites who have to team up to save Trey’s family’s bookshop from financial ruin.

This book is super sweet and sits firmly in the YA section but was still really enjoyable. Its set in East London and while not from the far reaches of Mordor myself lol it was refreshing to read about my similar college experiences in this Black British setting.

I loved that the MMC, Trey Anderson was sexy and came from a nuclear unproblematic family. His friends werent toxic and he was a wonderfully positive depiction of black maleness in a book.

Ariel, the FMC is the artistic type and is on the fluffy side which was also refreshing. Although she struggles with her weight and theres a really sad bit when she goes on a binge after someone calls her fat, shes works through her insecurities and it was sweet to witness.

Overall LIWW is a wonderfully festive and cute story about friendship and the love that can blossom from truly understanding someone for who they are and not what they are.

Defo check this one out it you can!
