4/5

A sapphic hallmark movie plot shoved into book form. Exes Charlotte and Brighton find themselves thrown together for a Christmas in snowy Colorado, the first time they've seen each other since Brighton left Charlotte at the altar. Romcom antics ensue.

- The cast was diverse and fun. Lots of queer people and very normalised. I also appreciated the bi rep a lot.

- The vibe of this book is fuzzy, winter romcom with a touch of spice. It was perfect for reading over December.

- It is not a difficult read which is exactly what I needed. This is no complex and literary book and that is just fine. Make the Season Bright does its thing well and meets the cosy winter romance criteria brilliantly.

Would recommend as a festive read for those that enjoy cheesy Christmas films and queer contemporary romances.
