This didn't hit me as hard as it seems to hit others. The writing was fantastic and the Christmas vibes were immaculate, and I liked having a super introspective main character, but there was something that kept me from really loving it. Maybe because it felt a little too simple of a conclusion? A little too easy? Idk, but the story was too short to really overlook that. I do think if I'd read this during the holidays sitting next to the fireplace while it snowed outside I would have enjoyed it more.
