Spoiler warning on for TW: self harm.
So I was really enjoying this novella. It was super warm and cosy, made me chuckle and I loved the characters.
Until I got to the line about Christmas songs being on repeat and Adam saying “Whereas the people who work here find it drives one of the unpacking knives closer to their wrists each time Justin Bieber’s Mistletoe starts again”.
I just thought it was a bit insensitive and there were so many ways that the sentiment could have been expressed without the need to talk about self harm.
I’m honestly disappointed cause it ruined what could otherwise have been a really enjoyable book. It didn’t need to be there at all.
