I finished this entire audiobook while doing housework yesterday and honestly, I might like it better than the first one. This was supposed to be my light read before (hopefully) starting Sunrise on the Reaping today, but the emotions hit hard in this one. Also the beginning of this one definitely had Red, White, & Royal Blue vibes to me (rivals that don't like each other have to make good for the paparazzi and end up falling in love? We love to see it).

Though this book follows different characters, I would still recommend reading the first book because there are some spoilers for that book in this one. Plus, it adds to the emotional depth (especially for Kris and his relationship with his brother Coal). 

Yes, this is silly holiday fun, but it packs an emotional depth that will absolutely make you fall in love with these characters.
