A gayer take on The Holiday? Yeah of course I’m into it! While I don’t leave this wowed or with a new holiday romance favorite, it was solid, cute, and well plotted. I appreciated that there wasn’t forced conflict/breakups, they were just adults who needed a change and started falling in love with new people. There was not much depth, the book pretty much throws you into the main characters swapping houses without much background, and the romances were pretty surface level, though still cute. The writing was just okay, though maybe the narration was a bit lackluster and didn’t do it justice. I’d say this is a romance where Christmas happens in the background, so if you’re looking for something very holiday-y, this might not be exactly what you’re looking for. All in all I’m glad I read this one but don’t imagine it will stick with me.
