‘Tis the Damn Season was a really cute romance set in the present around the holiday season, as well as in the past, starting 7 years prior. I was shocked when I found out the author was 15 years old when she started writing the book?!? I loved that the book came with a playlist, and I felt that most of the songs fit the chapters to a tee!
The book tells the story of Aspen’s life in the spotlight and her relationship with Roman. This couple had its ups and downs for me; I loved them in the beginning, but began to be frustrated by their ongoing poor communication! I did really relate to many of the deeper issues Aspen was dealing with (although mine were not caused by anything like her own circumstances). The book did go back and forth between past and present a lot, and while necessary to give details, it also made the book feel choppy at times. Overall, this was a sweet read with some powerful messages woven throughout!
