My number one Christmastime romance! 

Two chapters in, I was...uncomfortable...with the cheeseyness. A little while later, I felt I had predicted the tropes and the plot and seriously considered DNFing, but since this was a book club read I wanted to try a little longer. And then, I fell in love with the characters, and the plot became not-so-predictable.

I laughed, out loud and loudly, several times throughout this story. It's hard to get an outward reaction out of me through a book, so *chef's kiss.* 

These characters took some lessons - the communication is BEAUTIFUL. We know how to speak our minds and hearts to the closest people around us in a romance novel!? Shooketh I was.

Then there's the breaking the fourth wall, acknowledging the tropes, or lack of, and the sassy narrator!
