I love a good LGBTQIA+ holiday read! Though, one bit of advice: Don't read this book and You're a Mean One Matthew Prince at the same time like I did...because they will absolutely blend together.

This book feels sweet and fluffy and warm like a hug. I love Jess, and River, and Juno, and Felicity, and Nana and Pops all so much. They are kind and adorable and I could picture them all as part of a sitcom or something. Reading this book was just a soothing way to bring some joy into my days. The spice is very low level and most of it is fade to black. Its a bit fake dating, a bit forced proximity, there's some cinnamon roll hero, and some grumpy/sunshine vibes. There's a bit for everyone in here.

The spice in this series is just a smidge past fade to black. I always prefer more spice than that, but I realize that's not what everyone wants. I was feeling sad/ anxiety feels and this book was like a nice warm hug to get me through. The series itself was just a quirky delight.

I enjoyed this read and the opportunity to finally see Billy and Claire, but I most definitely hyped this book up in my brain to a completely unfair level. I was expecting nuclear levels of spice and tension and love, and I don't feel like I got it. However, I will continuously suggest the Winston Brothers series to anyone and everyone.

This book is exactly what I needed right now. Its sweet and fun and emotional and lovely without huge drama or plot points that ratchet up my anxiety. I loved this.

This book is a perfect easy read. It has fun characters, a plus-sized badass heroine, and a hero that's a bit of a cinnamon roll.

Definitely not my favorite Penny Reid book, but there were (as always) some great moments. I was never in danger of not finishing the book or the series, but I just never fell head over heels in love here.
