This was a cute read! So many Christmas vibes, if you are looking for that. Cam also struggles with things that I think will be relatable to teens, like what happens when you go to college and you're not good at what you thought you were? What if you fail? Those types of anxieties plague teens of all kinds at the end of high school, so seeing how Cam navigated them I think was helpful.
This book does have a level of cheesiness to it, which is to be expected considering it's a Christmas novel. I think I just wanted a bit more chemistry between Cam and his love interest, Marco. They just needed a little more of a spark, I think.
All in all, if you like cute, slightly cheesy, Christmas romances, this will definitely be the book for you!
