A review by katiedermody
Wrapped Up in You by Talia Hibbert

This was an angsty (in a good way) Christmas novella about best friends who are mutually pining for one another and super convinced the other wouldn't feel the same way. He's been off being a star in Hollywood but is back home in the UK for Christmas and she's been divorced from her awful husband for two years, so he decides to awkwardly make his move. She has a lot of hurt and trauma from her marriage and fights his feelings. There's meddling family, a pregnant cat, a blizzard, the briefest bit of not very descriptive spice at the very end, plus size rep, and a Black FMC. I've liked everything I've read by this author and while I'm not sure this is one I'll want to reread someday, it was cute and emotional and he's adorably dorkily gone for her. I've been meaning to read it since it came out in 2020 or something like that, so I'm glad I have now.
