I want to move to Harmony Springs so bad! I love this little Christmas loving town and its rich, queer history. It's such a magical setting. I'm really glad I started out my holiday reading with The Christmas Pic. The conversation around AI and how it is harming artists is so important and was handled really well with the balance of Ava's Gramsta vs Jo's The Photo Truck. I would've liked a bit more at the end to explore things we learned about Ava toward the end, but it didn't harm the story overall. 

I love that all the side characters were all meddling and trying to get these two idiots (lovingly) to lovers. It's a pretty quick romance because of time constraints in the plot, but I really enjoyed their romance because they were spending so much time together fixing up the truck and getting the business up to date that they couldn't help but have these small moments of seeing each other as they really were. The third act was a bit predictable, which is pretty on par for holiday romance, and I wish that Jo could've had a bit more trust in her heart for Ava's surprise; granted, I did like the scene when Jo finally realizes that Ava does see her. 

Read this if you like Hallmark movies but you've always wished they were queer, big city fish in an out of water small town, hate to love romance, and the most queer friendly Christmas town you've ever read about.
