If there was ever a script for a European, queer, Christmas Hallmark movie, this was definitely it. 

This book was adorable. It was a very quick read, with endearing characters, and a wonderful happy ending. Max comes across as a bit of a snob at first, but his heart is definitely in the right place, while Luca is a lonely workaholic. 

Sparks definitely fly at first, and there isn't quite as much banter as I usually appreciate in my romantic pairings, but Max and Luca are adorable and endearing all the same. 

I loved watching them go all in, and throw caution to the wind as they developed their relationship. Instead of running from the things they were feeling, they fully embraced them, and took the chance on something that would make them both happy. 

Up to Snow Good was truly a fun, fast, enjoyable read! And again, I've found another new author I need to read more from!
