This was a light and fluffy romance that was very sweet. I would equate this book to a palate cleanser if you will. Getting to know the two best friends Holly and Ivy was a lot of fun. They are very sweet and their bond was fabulous. Getting this story in dual storylines was alright, not my favorite, but I didn’t hate it. Ivy heads to Hawaii for Holly’s honeymoon, and Holly retreats to Ivy’s remote art retreat. I think the book was more about a focus on friendship and the lengths we would go for those friendships. Sure there is romance, it’s a romance novel ha, but the friendship story shines free. The holiday spirit also shines through, and I definitely felt some holiday vibes without being overly holiday-ish.

If you want a holiday read, but don’t want it to be aggressively holiday, and would like friendship to be the main focus, then you need to check this one out.

Thank you to @randomhouse and @netgalley for this e-arc all thoughts are my own.
