I really liked this book! It's the first sapphic Christmas romance I've come across and I'd definitely recommend.
I would've liked there to have seen more tension and build up between both FMCs. There was some but not enough in my opinion and it was often watered down by all the other drama in the book. Also I think the one brief spicy scene towards the end wasn't needed, if anything it made me slightly dislike the characters because of the situation they were in at the time.
However, the ending was really good and not too predictable.

Wow this was the perfect christmassy read! I really wanted to read something cute, funny and short - this book has it all!
Make You Mine This Christmas starts off with a cliquee Fake Dating Trope and meet cute. But it turns out Haf & Christopher just get along really well - as friends. The person our protagonist Haf actually falls in love with is Christopher's sister, Kit.
The only problem: Kit thinks Haf and Christopher are dating. Also his entire family thinks that, and is supposed to keep thinking that for at least the rest of Christmas!
I had so much fun reading this book. It's really funny and the characters are super relatable.
I don't know what else to say except, this book did everything right and you should read it!
Honestly this is the perfect book for me to complete my 2022 reading challenge of 100 books 🎉
