Thank you @atriabooks @netgalley for this queer holiday romance. Eli is a trans that is back home to a small town in Florida and catches up with his first love, Nick, who is a divorced dad. I love the setting of Florida and references to the current state of affairs there. Seeing their friendships redevelop was great. I love that they were both at crossroads and seeing their growth journey. Eli's parents were so amazing and supportive and Nick's dad was great too.
