Honestly all the stars in the world to this queer, Jewish, holiday romcom which is an absolutely stunning debut from Helena Greer. When her aunt Cass dies right before opening season of the Christmas Tree Farm & Inn she runs, Miriam heads to New York to sit shiva and confront family and feelings that she has avoided for over a decade. When Cass’s will is full of surprises, several lives change course and sooooo many hijinks ensue. I loved this book, I got so invested in every single one of the character’s storylines, and was rooting for them to save the farm and find love. Also, all the representations? Fat rep, queer rep (in many forms), Jewish rep, people of color, and I’m probably missing more. It was wonderful. This is such an excellent book and I really really truly recommend! Also, I caught that Dick Casablancas reference and know Helena must be a marshmallow. IYKYK.
