Thanks to Simon & Schuster for a review copy of this book!

If you like sort-of cheesy Christmas movies with a touch of deeper emotional connections, you'll definitely want to add this one to your holiday TBR. Lippincott and and Derrick are such a fabulous writing pair, and their books are always sure to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. So happy they decided to write a holiday themed romance!

The plot does follow your typical fake dating romance, but I loved how it allowed Arden and Caroline to reconnect throughout the story. It had been years since they had talked to each other, but their "fake" dates allowed them to revisit why they were such close friends in the first place. That is, close friends with something more simmering underneath.

As usual, Lippincott and Derrick have crafted well-rounded characters you'll fall in love with by the end of the book, as well as a cast of supporting characters that just make a fun, small town community. It's definitely a feel good holiday story, mixing Hanukkah and Christmas together in a town that's always enthusiastically celebrated Christmas.

As we move into the holiday season, definitely keep this one in mind for your winter TBRs!
