I read Dunbar's Scrooge-ish last year and enjoyed it, but this one was just ... more. More funny, more swoony, more forgiving. All the mores. Anyone who thinks real love can't develop in a couple weeks has never had that absolute pleasure, and this story is a great example of this trope done right. 💗
