This book really knew what it was doing. I’ve never really read a holiday romance this early in the year (currently in July so it’s actually the perfect time) but this not only had beautiful slow burn but also grumpy X sunshine, found family, and trans representation! It was a beautiful little combo of things that I love and not to mention the author also had an easy flow with her writing that paired perfectly.

I thought Grace and Alex were PERFECT together by the end and I thought his know to make sure he researched to be the best he could be was fantastic. Grace sharing her story was so heartbreaking and her ability to be a social worker and still so happy was another thing I loooooved. This was a cute holiday romcom read that also handled very serious subject matter with respect and I can’t wait to read more by the author! No spoilers so that’s as detailed as I’ll go haha!

Thank you to the author and Booked With the Emilys tour!
