Canadian only child gets the vacation we all want in the middle of winter. Away from a codependent mother and to find friends of her own. An insta love that shows people are more than their origins and that kindness can do more than fighting. Representation for those with anxiety (people pleasers and cleaners) and neurospice (fidget sticks and missing social cues). Asides from the warm and positive message this has the best cat representation/accuracy. A cat can do great things but chooses not to. 

That being said I did struggle reading this at time despite being a quick read. The FMC was both wise beyond her years (and not in the old soul way but the raise an eyebrow way) and frustratingly naive/young. She was also caught up on an ex well over halfway through comparing him to new men but we’re supposed to believe there’s chemistry. The MMC was a miss on my part. There’s supposed to be a big sad backstory that never hit the feels. The feelings that he is so abhorrent about. Throughout the book the narrator would tell you how they felt; not make you feel it which as an emotional reader misses the mark for me. The insta loves were lacking in chemistry. 

Overall a lovely book but not the one for me
