I grabbed this off NetGalley because I was: a) looking for Xmas stories, and b) wanting to read a new-to-me author. Y'all. 🥹 This was SO good! I swooned, wept, and saw bits of myself and those I love. If you are looking for an emotional ode to queer joy: ta da! Here ya go. 💖

I don't know how Brenner keeps doing it: making me fall for seemingly irredeemable characters. Jack is about as awful as you can write a character, and yet, he also has a pretty epic redemption arc. And I love Aviva's dedication to those she loves, and her ability be both forgiving and badass. I can't wait for Isaac and Tovah's book - Brenner just keeps getting better and better! 💞

I adore these novellas! They are fun, swoony, with just the right amount of horny! 😏 If you ever wanted your very own Hemsworth, may I interest you in one very hot Nickur?🔥 

This. So much this! I snorted a noodle out of my nose from laughing so hard. 🤣🤣 I laughed more in the first 15% of this book than I've laughed in ALL of some other books. 
I have never read a Pippa Grant book before, and now I'm going to have to go through her entire back catalog. Amanda and Dane were absolutely lovable and flawed, and just wanted their respective families to be and do better. I think that's something most of us can relate to. And Chili the Dog (get it? Chili Dog?) 🌭 was an absolute delight. 💖
