Everyone says this is this series's 'cute fluffy holiday episode' but I think that's an unfair characterization of this book. These poor characters are recovering from war and immense personal loss, and the dawn of a new era in their universe, they are struggling and GRIEVING!! Yes, its the holidays and they give each other cute gifts and play in the snow <3 but they also all definitely have an alcohol problem and poor coping mechanisms. Fun book! Very predictable but I think I find most of this series predictable because I have read the author's other works and I know how she writes.
