I'm a huge fan of Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell so when I heard that there was a short story about Reagan, I knew I needed to read it.

This was a cute story set on Christmas in 2020 during the pandemic. It's the first book I've read that focused on the pandemic and wearing masks, social distancing, etc. Reagan takes these precautions seriously so quarantines for 2 weeks so she can spend time with her grandfather on Christmas. There, she meets his neighbor Mason who is also big on social distancing and mask wearing.

I enjoyed reading more about Reagan and where her life took her after college. She was the same sarcastic character from Fangirl, but there definitely was some growth. If you know me, you know I loved Levi from Fangirl, and although he isn't in this story, I'm glad he was at least mentioned a couple of times.

For a short story, Rowell did a great job of showing a connection between Reagan and Mason. I would be willing to read a full book with these characters and Grandpa of course!

I received a free copy of this on Audible. Rebecca Lowman is one of my favorite narrators, and once again she did a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life.
