Overall, I think this would’ve worked better as a full novel, there’s so much missing and things that could’ve been fleshed out in the span of a novel.Ĭharacter wise – I didn’t really take to Abbie, I found her perspective a little annoying at times. I feel like the title implies more romance than there is. If you’re expecting lots of romance and smut, forget it. It takes until 90% of the way in for the characters to do anything. Not a lot happens, you spend most of the time reading the characters thoughts and anxieties. This is a very character driven story, the plot is basically non-existent. I expected this to feel super festive and cosy and it really just didn’t? It’s snowy and Christmas is approaching during the novella but it didn’t really revolve around it as much as I thought. There wasn’t enough for me to really feel attached.ĪLSO, this was nowhere near as Christmassy as I expected.
I wanted them to get together for it to be over… I like slow burn, it’s one of my favourite tropes, but I feel like I needed more from this story. I didn’t find it very satisfying, I wasn’t yearning for them to get together. The romance is a slow burn one, like really slow burn. This is a super short novella, so I don’t really have a ton to say. Convincing clever, frosty Abbie to give Will a chance will take more than mistletoe, but hiding his lifelong crush on her is no longer an option. When a blizzard leaves Will and Abbie alone at Grandma Farrell’s house (if bunking with 27 pets counts as ‘alone’), it’s the perfect opportunity to pull off a Christmas miracle. (Apparently, it’s a good one.) Winning ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ was nice, but this Christmas, he has more important goals in mind… like finally winning over his best friend’s little sister, the super-smart and kinda-scary Abbie Farrell. William Reid is nothing special, except for his billion-dollar acting career and his, you know, face. And as this adventure brings them closer together, they begin to remember the good bits of their history. So when Celine signs up for a survival course in the woods, she’s surprised to find Brad right beside her.įorced to work as a team for the chance to win a grand prize, these two teens must trudge through not just mud and dirt but their messy past. These days, there’s nothing between them other than petty insults and academic rivalry. Which is why Brad abandoned her for the in-crowd years ago. Social media followers eat up her takes on everything from UFOs to holiday overconsumption–yet, she’s still not cool enough for the popular kids’ table. except the ones he shares with his ex-best friend, Celine.Ĭeline Bangura is conspiracy-theory-obsessed.
He’s a star football player, manages his OCD well (enough), and comes out on top in all his classes.
