Cute, nice. Good for the holidays.
I'm glad I was able to finish this before the end of the holiday season. This was a nice little romp; think "The Holiday" meets "Single All The Way." This follows two characters escaping their respective homes around the holidays, exploring love, belonging, and discovering their true authentic selves.
While I like the majority of what this book offers, the writings style was not my cup of tea. The dialogue seemed clunky at times and some of the character interactions were a little trite. I almost rated this a bit lower because of this, but then there was a massive shift toward the 3/4 mark. If it hadn't been for this massive climax moment, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. Also, I think the endings could have been a bit different, considering what these characters are doing, but overall I think it was cute.
All in all, I'd say this was a diverse, pro-queer holiday read and I think others would enjoy this one as well. Happy Holidays!
