”Clara was special. Is special. She’s a mosaic of a person. So many differing, unique elements that create one perfect thing. A little chaotic and a whole lot of mess involved—but beautiful all the same.”
I absolutely adored this holiday novella! These FMC’s are childhood friends turned to adult lovers who start things off by fake dating, which quickly turns into real feelings.
The representation jam packed into this story was lovely to see. Even though this has the fluff of a typical holiday romance, the author also delves into deeper topics. I thought it was perfectly balanced!
In this you’ll find found family, queer joy, punny jokes and feel an overwhelming sense of love woven into these pages.
